What hypocrisy.

Considering that "artists" make mere pennies, if anything, per album sold and the record companies take the rest, I don't think we're doing much of a disservice. Bands make money (although not much, but much more than from CD's) from shows and merchandise sales. Downloading music for free is blown out of proportion by the media, crying that "Artists are starving!" when really 99% of the popular bands today don't even write their own music, much less make any amount of money off of it.
Record companies are crooked and corrupt. I have no problem taking money away from them and supporting independent bands that don't sound like Fall Out Boy or Katy Perry.
