I'm not sure you read my post at all before replying.
People who pirate music tend to purchase more music than people who do not pirate music. That means that the bad guys also happen to be the good guys. The industry just happens to ignore that and treat them like bad guys and wonder why record sales go down.

It would seem to make sense that people pirate music for the same reason they buy music, because they like music.
This has all been hashed out before anyways. Good luck.
