The people not able to make a living are the ones who take huge advances from record companies and then either fail to repay those companies or fail to do enough promotion to make a living. Odds are if they aren't making money, their music probably sucks or they can't sell it via performance. Most of the music I own I heard online or was given by friends. My rule, if I listen to it a lot, I buy it. If it sucks, I don't!

@TheSimpIyMagic Again, Euro(pean) is a race? Inform me!

[TheSimpIyMagic]

@snoobeagle Dude race isn't just black and white.. Grow up

[snoobeagle]

@TheSimpIyMagic Euro(pean) is a race? Good lord, I knew you weren't the brightest, but this is just amazing.

[TheSimpIyMagic]

@snoobeagle Now you're bringing race into this? Dude you're embarresing yourself now, I don't even have to bother replying with thought out messages - your arguments have become so ridiculous that I'm assuing your joking or mentally ill?

[snoobeagle]

@TheSimpIyMagic That makes no sense! I'd assume you're trying the hackneyed and many-times refuted argument of "everyone should have the same wealth" or even more stupid, "successful people are OBLIGATED to share their wealth." You must be a Euro to be so firmly entrenched in that incentive killing, laziness inspiring mentality. Again, there's NO.. NONE...ZIP..NADA.. justification, no matter how hard you try (and you do!) for stealing.

[TheSimpIyMagic]

@snoobeagle You are literally too thick skulled to have a conversation with. You're justifying the fact that while some people get paid hundreds of thousands of pounds a WEEK for playing football or going on TV others don't earn enough to eat?

[snoobeagle]

@TheSimpIyMagic Hahaha.. we've come full circle to the original topic..the ludicrous ways people justify piracy! Stopping piracy is the first step to globa oppression eh? What are you, 14? And the standard "Rich people can afford to lose a few of their belongings, or earning potential." Tell me THAT doesn't get old in this era of socialist "let someone else take care of me." As for youtube being piracy, they do their best to prevent it. What I view are legit vids, usually technical.

@snoobeagle >> yourself if you look at your youtube channel. If we look at it how you look at it, we're ALL pirates. Luckily, the rest of the world has some common sense. Millionaire celebrities may lose 79p here and there from somebody iligally downloading a song, but the world's poorest can afford vital medicine all because of this 'crime' you so hate. You have to look at the bigger picture here.
