This is supposed to make me feel sympathetic to the multi billion dollar corporations? Fuck all the way off with that shit.
The artists get essentially none of that money, so when they talk about the "music industry" they are talking about all the parasites feeding off them. Rob them for all they are worth.
"Due to lower than expected album sales, James Hetfield has had to settle for a solid gold swimming pool instead of the solid platinum pool he really wanted."
Money good. Napster bad.
