From the page: "We need to remember that music is an art, not a business. If you have a problem with people listening to your music and sharing it with others, you need to find a new job."
I wholeheartedly agree. I completely disagree with the notion that the music "industry" should really be an industry at all. Why *do* music artists deserve millions of dollars / pounds? It seems to be far too a socially accepted norm.
In the modern day, a music artist can self distribute and reach their target audience, and earn more than enough money to live on, via the internet and touring.
The music industry is like no other, are we charged such high rates for art, theatre? Do those artists earn as much? Only when the RIAA can tell me why music is *the* special art form, will I agree that a single recording costs £10 or more.
Granted, I do still buy music, but rarely pay the exorbitant sticker price, unless I want to directly support sales on a particular artist. (Recently Portishead, for example)
