: anyone whose copied a record or cd to tape for a fried should be sued too.
That's possibly the most retarded idea I've heard all week.
: if those that share digitally are at fault for letting others enjoy a sample of an artists music...
: man, fuck em all is all i say.
"Letting others enjoy" thousands of CDs worth of music?! There's quite a bit of difference between the casette revolution of the '80s and en masse underground distribution of copyrighted material.
: bunch of fucking hippocrites and assholes.
Agreed, but it's a business like any other. Capitalism, she is a bitch. And I might add that you're also a hypocrite for pronouncing that you're a "fan" of a certain artist, and then turning around and burning music they made without supporting them.
: when madonna and coldplay started flooding with fake songs, i stopped listening to both of them.
Good. You should've never listened to them in the first place.
