I always like to pay for my snake oil to show my support for the small time oil businessman in this tough economic climate.

Obviously, when you assimilate the product to a person you feel more concerned than when it is to a company. Why would there be such a big difference in moral between a big company and a little one ? Megaupload, a little company exploited his customers and I find it good that it shut down. The music industry is also made up of some little independent labels which are also hurt by this "piracy". This is not about being little or good, but it is about respect of customer, moral, quality of service... And I'm all for your idea of a steam like application, you would be able to dl movie from and also platforms where you can "test" music before buying it. how is it different todo it against a random guy than to a group of billionares and millionares? The music industry causes great harm to the art of music, its monopolic abusive garbage. And even ignoring the obvious justice of fucking with a corrupt industry, if you dont see a moral difference between stealing bread from a starving person than from a morbidly rich one then you are retarded

The example I took, was someone from the music industry but on an independant label and obviously not rich. Before saying people are retarded, try to not misunderstand what they say.
Though, I admit my posts are at best, poorly phrased.
And again, I agree that music industry has to change, I'm just saying that there are musicians who are not willing to be part of it but are hurt by piracy, so just saying that it is not that binary.

And I think constructive comments as the idea you brought up "a steam like platform for movie" are much better than ones just saying Music industry is all shit and let's dl all the music.

Now, going to login on grooveshark to listen to some music.

yeah a baal podcast would be interesting lol

id pirate it

Using the argument that 'the music industry destroys music' is a pretty damn dumb argument lol.

baal, do you have anywhere i can read about why the music industry is so unfair?

i'm not that educated and i know they probably take advantage of artists and basically run by seducing idiots and teenage girls with marketing and branding but to play devil's advocate there is a lot of risk and costs involved with producing/publishing an artist and considering the amount of people that are looking for a stake it's the nature of the business. also, music is not objective, it's subjective. if 80% of the world are "idiots" and like "garbage" music you are just gonna have to deal with it (or invent a better market and/or try to educate people better).

i am actually with you (and anonymous) and would much prefer to pay the artists directly instead of paying some fat cat for marketing/branding/raping/packaging/etc and am all for that movement, i just don't know if i agree with your guys' position that stealing from them is fair.

also, i assume when you said you'd steal from corrupt politicians that you would then somehow try to figure out a fair way to distribute that money back to the people effected and not keep it yourself?
