well said Blo, and jg, it's still a fucking cop out. If you steal a car because it costs 80 grand, you're still fucking stealing.
Anyways, I was trying to get a similar point accross earlier, but I'm not trying to judge those who steal, simply telling you to quit bullshitting and admit you're stealing music. Not borrowing, not testing, you're fucking stealing.
And now that you've admitted such a crime, you have to figure out how to change the way the world is so that you, a law abiding citizen (or close enough) don't have t o steal just to listen to music.
You figure out what it is that brought you to do such heinous things to so many people, and what it would take for you to stop. Then you support anyone or anything trying to make that happen.
And Blo, you're right, a good percentage of all those dollars goes to everyone involved in the process, BUT the artist SHOULD get the larget cut for one. and two, the label takes the largest cut, by a serious percentage.
I don't mean they get an equal cut with the artsist, 4 cents a cd or whatever, i mean the label is pulling in 3 dollars for every 4 cents the artist gets and this is AFTER everything has arleady been covered by the other 13.96 dollars in the cd price. (these numbers are not accurate)
so stop stealing music, and find ways to buy your music directly from the artist... and espeically support those who are trying to provide such means (and no, that does not include itunes)
