RE: Study: MP3 generation still a bunch of pirates
I have to agree with mrlinux, I know everyone was copying music on tapes form friends long before mp3's and the internet, and before that people would lend their records to friends, so what has changed?
Even if the music industry were successful in stopping free online sharing and downloading, they still would not succeed in the prevention of sharing music, since there are many other ways off-line and they wouldn't know about it.
Also, part of the problem is affordability. Most young people simply do not have the cash to spend on all that music. It's probably best for them (industry) just accept that this is part of the business, and artists should be prepared to continue working (concerts/tours/etc.) to earn money, rather than expecting an endless supply of royalties for every song/every time someone wants to listen.
Oh well, I'm sure there will be no end to this battle. lol
