Theres no winning the argument between those who want to get paid and those who dont want to pay. All we can do (the ones who want to get paid) is not allow our goods to be free. If someone wants it theyll buy it. if they want to steal it, theyll steal it. They were never going to pay for it anyway. The bottom line... if you create something and theres demand for it and people enjoy and consume it... PAY FOR IT. Theres really no other way to sustain this thing we all love. Music is magical, it soothes, it creates memories, it changes lives. its worth paying for. If it wasnt so valuable, why does everyone want it so bad? Why does big tech use it as bait to sell everything else? Watch TV for an hour... music is everywhere. Go to any public gathering place... music is playing. Music is important. Just as important as your data plan, cable tv, $5 coffee drink, $8 craft beer, $10 cigarettes, $50 bag of weed and the $30 ironic t-shirt from the mall. People can afford to buy a lot of music... they just need to shift their priorities. And for the record... unless its a band I work for... I pay for every mp3, cd, lp, and band shirt I have. And I pay for all shows I go to. Im not rich. But I make a budget for stuff I care about. It was easy... I stopped drinking so much. 4 beers a week = $80 month. thats 8 albums on iTunes. almost 100 albums a year by drinking 4 beers less per week. You can do it too.
