You know vanblah, it isn't just music. Working in marketing/advertising our clients expect us to be on all the time. If we actually billed people for all the work we did, we would be out of business.

I am constantly asked to review or change things, usually after we have billed our clients. Unless it is a major change, that is work we do to keep the clients happy. And even then, just like music, although people don't see all the work it takes to complete a project, they still feel compelled to question the work, or the value of it and expect what they think is fair.

I download songs that I want to listen to, then after awhile, delete them from my pc. I don't have a pc running 24/7 getting free downloads just because I can.

I also buy newer artists cd's and believe they need the support.

I deplore hearing from snotty nosed kids who feel it is their right to get everything for free just because their presence graces the earth and who constantly go on about the RRIA when they completely haven't got a clue about the facts and are just repeating nonsense because it is difficult to formulate an opinion when your underwear is sticking out of your pants that has its crocth at the knees.

Albeit, the RRIA missed the boat on downloads.

I wonder if all those who expect free music have parents who are doctors or dentists or whatever. Maybe we can go to them and say we had our teeth cleaned before and we paid for it so now it should be free. Or with doctors. How about mechanics. Why should I pay for oils changes all the time. Lots of oil in the world. Should be free.

But maybe those people who feel so entitled will work in an industry one day and not receive full compensation from their work. It'll probably hit home when they can't pay their bills and will have to work two or three jobs to survive, if they don't leave that industry altogether

Just an opinion. Going to download a Springsteen concert off of Tapecity now.
