What say?
lenohere my friend, you may be forgiven for being a bit confused. People who steal your product are not what we euphimistically refer to as "customers". I would suggest that the listening to what these "customers" want has resulted in the conclusion that what they want is free music. Might I ask what you view as an "ass forward" model for making money? Praying that "...they will continue to lose business, money, and eventually go bankrupt" seems a bit the losing approach. I don't personally think God would be keen on stealing music and might just be averse to assisting your enterprise.

Actually, I recall when protests and boycotts were for things that were moral, upright and really mattered like the Viet Nam war, plight of migrant workers and civil rights. My how times have changed, now we boycott to support theft.
