I believe the correct analogies would be: - Going to a stranger and asking for identical copies of the food in the grocery store for free. - Telling your boss you now plan on being paid only once for each day you work. Oh, wait... that's already like that. I think the writer's real motives would actually be: Free. As long as it didn't cost anything to replicate and hand it to me. --~~-----~~~~---~----~~------ PS: As far as paying directly to the musicians, that's your only meaningful idea. But don't forget the artists are the ones who sign up with labels, not consumers. It just turns out your refutations are not so artless either. I believe the correct analogies would be:

Hey xxoozero, next time you go into work, assuming you have a job, why not work 3 hours for free.....every day from now on. How will that work out for you dumbass. If the artist hasn't put out his/her music for free then you are nothing but a thief when you steal their music. End of story.

FREE MARKETING. hearing/attaching yourself to an idea is substantial and controlling, and can influence the way you spend your money. please wake up and read believer's comment - they will receive royalties for their music until the day they die. i guess you think its a good thing people wipe their asses with $100 bills @ the author : good article! fun read, please actually cite your sources though! @clark tierney

I have met new people that are fans of the same music as me, male and female. It's a great conversation starter.
