Remember Napster? I guess it was mid 90's early 2000's, kids were spending 24/7 dowloading music illegally. I guess they gave up cause they realized they couldnt prosecute every kid who downloaded music. But that was really the start of it. They are so used to getting music free, they will just go back to that. They were never able to stop it, and probably wont be able to again.

When I was a kid I had a paper route, and could only buy my absolute favorites. 12 bucks for an album or cd, was rediculous, especially compared to now where kids have multiple pcs filled with songs.

Its good in a way, cause there is no way anybody could afford even 100 albums...as a kid, let alone thousands and thousands. So it gives artists a chance to be heard. How they make money is another story, but its great for the listener!


Kids stealing music hurts no one. Kids can't buy music so there is no loss incurred. If a company does it they care, but not kids. When everything makes it to digital that means there is nearly zero cost of goods going forward. So it's almost a 100% profit business. Sure there's a tiny cost upfront to create but with digital/computer recording, that cost is nearly zero. They hire kids to make their music (already have for 70 years) so they cost little as well. It's all money for them and no one else.
