>Do you realize that if music producers can't make a satisfactory profit, then music will just not be produced? No, I don't realize that. The overwhelming majority of music never makes any money because making money isn't the point. Making money is the point for a small contingent of entrenched players who carved out a market for themselves decades ago and are now seeing it disrupted. Far more artists fear obscurity and irrelevance than could ever fear piracy. Any residual coin they make due to any eventual popularity is just icing on the cake. |

I do realize that music is a passion for musicians, but record companies are in it for a profit. They're businesses, and they're what I was referring to.
You're free to seek out indie musicians on CDBaby or whatever and then download the shit out of their music, but even they'd at least prefer that you buy it. That's why their music can be found online.
