Nobody said it was.

How glib. So much for giving a rip about what anyone else thinks.

That's fine. But some people (as is obvious from the post to which we both
allude) who make music do not feel that way.
All I am suggesting is that it's a bit selfish to write how they feel off
as if it's insignificant - in fact, I'm not suggesting it...I'm stating it.
Sure, it's good publicity - no denying that. And I don't think the person
who posted the beginning piece was incriminating any/everyone who downloads
tracks and never buys them. Don't miss his point though; if the IDM
community (and I use the term loosely) dips from the well until it's dry,
they only have themselves to blame when there's a drought.
And don't miss my point. Other people - who make the music and have a right
to feel infringed upon IF indeed they do - see things differently...and I
would argue that as the artists in question (re: the person who posted),
probably have more warrant in feeling what they feel about it than those
who "don't give a shit" what anybody else thinks. Once again, I don't think
the poster was referring to people who download, like it and then support
the artist. 'Nuff said.
