As much as I wished people were more giving I cannot believe it would work itself out. Imagine you are a artist. You have spent years and years looking for a big break. Put in hours and worked multiple jobs to help provide for those around you while still chasing a dream.

Now you've realized your dream and want to make a living off of it. Well firstly if you are not independently signed then you have a record label. This entails that you make a certain number of records and go on a certain number of tours. Tour money is great don't get me wrong but you have no life. No you get a percentage off record sales which is small but if you make 10% on every dollar then you want to sell more. But because of the free interest others have in acquiring your goods free of charge you may sale about 100,000 on a good day nowadays if you are up and coming. So you made a whole 10,000 off of a album that your probably put in about 3-4000 in equipment or booth rental fees that you may or may not have acquired. They take a cut for your time depending on your deal. Everything you do or need makes a piece of pie disappear. So now you are forced to tour and tour and tour and there is no guarantee that record label will still promote you without making a profit, but you still have a contract you are obligated to take care of making little to no money at all.

I'm sure those people would prefer that you go out and support them more then download and distribute. Most artist make samples for youtube and other outlets to give back to the fans. Whats wrong with spending 12 dollars on a album which can make or break a persons career.

I am no saint but a truly negligible law hurts most people more then it does the big fish.
