The RIAA would love you
People have been making copies of music since the Reel to Reel tape recorders have been around. I am old enough (sigh) to remember then saying the same things about 8-tracks, cassette tapes, VCRs, CD recorders. It does not take a genius to figure out if you put out great music it will sell. You put out trash people will buy it. That is, what is wrong with the movie and music industry. How many people paid full price to Watch the last Marix movie? I acutally downloaded half of it and decided that would spend my money else where until it hits the Dollar theatres or the $5 movie bin. That is what the movie industry is really affraid.
They can't milk the cash cow any more. Samething as the music industry. Ever wonder why they only play the 1 hit from an album all the time enstead of the other 12 songs on a CD? because most of the time they are worthless tunes. Once again they can not milk that cash cow.
