Because you don't realize that everytime you say you're listening to $popular_song, you're advertising $album_of_popular_song

The recording industry makes more each year than they made the previous year. There is no slump in sales. When the RIAA talks about "losing money" they're talking about how their actual profits were less than their projected profits. They're not talking about not making a profit or making less profit. They're making more profit, just not as much more as they wanted. This can just as easily be due to a flaw in their projection as any impact of copyright infringement.

Oh, so it's not actually about civil disobeience or anything like that... you just want free music. You should have just said so rather than tried the righteous indignation tact.
