sometimes what is lawful is not what's right! tell the industries to evolve and adapt to the new world and technology. they could use it to their advantage, but they're too fixated on instant gratification money.

pro-piracy for life!

Money or no money true artists will still create. I don't particularly want my CD to cost 5 times more than it should so the artists can travel the globe, living in hotels with gigantic entourages. Its bollocks. Another rip off, when I do buy a CD legally, I'm still breaking laws if I play it in public or lend it to a friend.

when you think about it, losing millions of dollars to a trillion dollar industry is like losing a 50 bucks when you've just won the lottery...

@teaboyaudio that is nonsense...

[igorsutak]

@teaboyaudio how is this stealing? it't not like I take music from the singer literally...I download it from the internet where it's available for the whole world...it's called sharing

ADAPT ALREADY! INCENTIVE SHOULD BE IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS! IF YOU WANT MONEY - GO ON TOUR!

What?! Without copyright there will be no misc? Biggest lie ever. Nobody pays for records nowadays, but there's more bands outthere then was in 80s. And people record music in their home studios and put it online for free. And nobody have a hard feelings. And some how ledygagas still doing millions of dollars.

how come copying is stealing?

and let actual musician sue the listener, not some advocates. i want some Bon Jovy standing there and said - you, little boy from alabama, going to prison just because you download my song

@InhabitantOfUniverse You put it on Tv, radio and YouTube and all of those are free! No difference.

I am just one very talented musicians, among many, who looked at the prospect of being a professional musician and said "fuck that". It was a direct result of the napster generation. Well they got what they deserved.....shit for music. Thanks alot assholes. You made it so that artists are more like employees working for a record company than artists. Its the little guy that gets hurt, not the big flashy Hollywood star.

Music will continue without money but not the way we know it now. If artists have to work other jobs in order to support themselves, that is less time spent writing, touring, recording, etc. People who love making music will still make it when they have time. They won't ever release it to a wide audience and probably won't play shows since they can't support themselves doing what they love.

Anti-piracy for life.
