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.

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
