BTW, I buy all my music, always have done. I'm not defending theft in any way. This isn't theft anyhow, according to the current legal definitions.
I think it's not as simplistic as stealing from a thief, or just claiming to be Robin Hood.
They are expecting the same very old business model, to continue reaping them an easy profit. It no longer does, it no longer fits the world we live in today.
Yet, they carry on regardless, despite seeing a massive drop in their revenues.
To anyone with sense in their head, it is time to do things differently. Some already are.
Clearly they have no sense in their heads. They lash out at their customers, instead of accepting we no longer live in the 1970s, and adjust their business accordingly.
This is a mess they have created, but still they want to blame others.
It's really simple, the new generations don't want to pay $20 for a $1 bit of plastic with music on it. That age has gone. No-one can force people to buy stuff they don't want.
