Lol, I think I'm going to illegally download the mediocre music of
everyone who has responded to this thread like above just because of how
shitty and childish they're being.
You all remind me of Benn Jordan when he wrote a novel-length
announcement about how piracy was killing his sales and it really needs
to stop....except he forgot to set his Oink profile to private, and you
could see all 60GB of copyrighted music he had pirated in the last 12
months. Super cool dude. Get off your high horses. Ever looked up and
listened to a track on YouTube that was copyrighted and illegally
uploaded by a 3rd party user? omg, you pirated, I can't believe you
would ever listen to a copyrighted track without paying for it. Every
grabbed a track off of soulseek? omg, you're a pirate.
Music industry revenue is up, not down. Sales of LP's are up nearly 50%.
Paid audio streaming revenue is up more than 50%. Piracy isn't killing
anything, if anything it has caused revenue to increase, if you really
want to try and draw the shitty causation=correlation conclusions
currently being drawn in this thread. I think you're all just mad nobody
wants to pay $30 on bandcamp for your super indie bangers
