Oh man this debate is getting so skewed.
When my work is pirated it does badly effect me as much as someone 'borrowing' my car for several days without me giving my permission.
Also, I'm 50 years old, I've been into music since I was a school kid, and earned peanuts for the first few years i was a professional musician.
Please don't tell me buying music (on CD or iTune) is for the rich or privileged only.
This is utter bolony.
Music lovers and music makers have done what they've needed to do for many years to buy and use music products legally.
I'm sorry I just don't buy the concept that suddenly music is available to people who couldn't afford it before.
In fact, they are using the money they should have spent on buying their music legitimately for other means, like purchasing good quality computers and internet equipment.
Which actually puts a lie to the notion that 'financially screwed over' people are suddenly enjoying music they couldn't afford before, because they now need fancy computers and a fast ISP to download it illegally.
Sorry.... it's BS. tutt
