No big deal... yeah right!
Well their system has sure made a big deal about the consumers stealing their music and hence their "rich" way of life. It has always been a question in my mind as to why we promote professional musicians (or athletes) to such ridiculous income levels and then later to political careers... better stop that train of thought before I get carried away.

But here is the portion of the quote I found very amusing:

"There's very little money in this to begin with," said David Ring, vice president of Universal Music Group's eLabs division.

If that is true why has the music industry made such a big deal about it... suing elementary school students and their grandparents etc.

What a ridiculous mess we have created and continue to support by purchasing over-priced products.
