somewhere along the line the entire thing is going to collapse. being a musician i find it really annoying to hear ignorant bullshit attitudes like 'people being on their moral high horse'. as an unsigned musician ive spent literally thousands of pounds of my own money to pursue making music for a living and the idea that somehow, out of all art forms 'music' is the exception that should always be free because the p2p software is there is fucking outrageous. sure its exciting that the power has been taken away from the majors who have screwed musicians for years but turns out apple are just another major really. people really need to get their heads around the real cost of all of this. the people that write and perform the music earn the least from it. since when did everyone start doing things for free. you want your house built, you call a builder. if at the end of making the house you say to him... sorry, ain't gonna pay you mate, he'd take you to court. why should a musician make barely NOTHING from the pleasure of appearing on apples monolpoly? really, its fucking out of hand.
