Comment

This certainly reflects my own behaviour. I have never understood the threat view of the industry. When I download music, it's normally old stuff that's not even available anymore (I'd love to hear 'Next' with Alex Harvey right now, but the CD isn't exactly easy to get nowadays, is it...), or I download as a preview before buying. If anything, filesharing has increased my buying CDs. however, the 'war' on filesharing has made a BIG impact on my attitude towards the music industry. I used to think they were a "necessary evil" that I would defend even if they did give the artist a way too tiny share of the profits, but now they're in the "shameless ba****rd selfish capitalist" bracket and I couldn't care less if the whole dirty business collapsed.
