While it's true that some artists just feel entitled to a paycheck, there are other reasons to support paying for content.

I have no problems with anyone willing to part with their money for content. I do it myself from time to time. My issue is the sense of entitlement whereby people think they should be getting money because they are performing an activity the feel should earn them money.

Which means that most of the time, you don't pay for content.

Which means that you basically pirate music.

Which means that you are the parasite, not the musician.

Perhaps they listen to the radio, youtube, or a free streaming service.

Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

Perhaps they also go to more concerts etc as well.
