I have no conscience-problem with getting music off p2p programs. Wanna know why? The "film and music industries" (which in this case, refers ONLY to Hollywood and the grandiose music coportations) deserve it. Anyone see/hear the shit coming out of the radio/mtv and movie theatres? What garbage! It seems only fair that I take a listen or look see to make sure that the quality is there, instead of wasting $10 at a movie gallery or $20 on a cd. (that's another thing...why are CDs still so fucking expensive?!?! they've been the same price since I was born. Each cd costs about $1 to press...that's 1900% profit for every cd sold. And guess how much of that goes to the artist? Very very little, my friends. In Canada, if a band goes three times gold, they'd be lucky to get sixty grand--for an album that received 6 MILLION in sales. Who's the one that's really getting ripped off here?...musicians make their pay by touring, and their music is what brings crowds to the shows. What better way to get your music out there than through the internet?).
In reality, only the big corporations are losing out on the money, and I don't give a fuck about them. Independant film companies and record labels are thriving off this e-movement, and that's where the real art comes from. So in conclusion...YAy P2P
