In today's record industry, Dave Brubeck would not be homeless, he'd be one of the many thousands of extremely talented people recording stuff you've never heard because there's so much competition; but he'd find some audience and go around performing and making do. He'd probably struggle financially like lots of others and rightfully complain about gross economic inequities today in our corrupt system. None of this has anything to do with the red herring about "piracy".

I have to repeat something funny that Brubeck said -- he said the most common question asked by fans was, "How many musicians are there in your quartet?"
