Wow, just, wow.
So the fact that millions upon millions of folks no longer purchase music legally has had very little effect on the music industry?
I know what P2P is about, it’s about someone at some point purchasing say, the new Decemberists cd, and then uploading it to a filesharing (again, sharing is a simple euphemism) program so that others may download the album, illegally, at no cost to themselves. I understand proponents would like to make it appear as though they are Robin Hood like figures stealing from those big mean music labels, but at the end of the day, they’re just hurting the bands they claim to love.
