I disagree with the premise that just because people want something that they are willing to buy it... if that were the case then piracy and theft wouldn't exist.
Piracy is nothing new and I'd like to see how "modern piracy" is any different than me taping a song off the radio or dubbing a tape (and I'm not trying to condone those behaviors at all).
I suppose its in the availability of it all... the internet just makes it too easy.
Personally, I'm tired of the piracy discussion. I know that I don't have the answer but I can tell you that the answer will not be found in arguing this to death nor will it be found through prosecution of the "pirates". Too many people are doing it.
I think the way that music is received needs to be changed... its sad to see CD and record stores go away but I suppose someone was sad to see the local blacksmith go out of business as well... does that mean we stop progress? Of course not.
Again, I don't have any answers or suggestions...
