It takes a lot of time, money, and effort to make a record (CD). It takes a lot of time, money, and effort to build a house… or a business for that matter. Creating values for society and oneself requires a lot of conscious effort and resources. If someone that you did not know came along and gave your home away while you were at work, would you be happy about that? What if - - you spent the better part of two years writing & composing one of the greatest pieces of music the world has ever heard, re-financed your home, borrowed money from relatives and made and excellent recording of that composition? ---Then only a week after your CD is distributed, someone is giving it away to the world without your permission… - or worse - selling the downloads in some kind of membership scheme and not paying you. How would you feel? Would you feel robbed? Cheated? Betrayed? I WOULD! The owner of the music is the only one authorized to give away their music. -- Much has been said on this subject and I don't want to go on and on about it. It's really simple.
STEALING IS BAD BUSINESS.
(even if they claim that it's legal & show a legal disclaimer quoting court cases…LEGAL DOWNLOADS etc.) If all music is free…… Who will pay for studio time? Equipment? Musicians? The TIME it takes to create a great composition? -- They'll ALL have to get day jobs to support themselves. Dreams will die. Great music will fade from the memory of civilization. Civilization? I don't think that's very civilized. The only music we'll be left with will be composed and performed by computer programs. Low effort equals low value. Thank you for reading, -- John H.
