No, I said
1. I don't listen to their music,
2. I don't download their music, and, as a consequence,
I neither care about their music nor their livelihood (it comes from being unimpressed by their efforts, you see). What I did say, in my post leading up to that, is that *if* I like something (say, classical music, or Dostoevsky translations, I will happily buy those [within reason]). Academic publishing (excepting textbook publishing) is also something I respect, as it demands at least something from its authors, whereas any Dan Brown can get published in a normal publishing house.
The fact that you don't bother to respond to any of that, claiming
I'm too "immature" - or whatever other silly adjective you can come up with - for you to talk to, as well as the whole of my earlier post, as well as the allegations leveled against you in this one only tells me that you have no way of defending yourself against it, as you know that you were indeed stacking the deck in your "favor".
