I play music for my own enjoyment. it's a hobby. if i want to make money, i work. i don't expect to be paid for something that i get a kick out of doing anyway. If people want to listen to my songs, that's great, but i'm not out to make money from it. Besides, illegal downloading has been going strong for nearly 12 years now, and we've seen plenty of new bands come through and make it big in that time, which kind of proves it's not all that bad.

I do sympathise with millionnaire musicians and record execs after I lost my job and maybe soon my house. After all, if Bono can't afford a new private jet, he won't bother making a new album, which is just tragic.
