Music and Film industries "GONE!"

Music and film industries have been brought to their knees through greedy people not wanting to pay.

Now the same thing is happening to books, Why do people think they have the right to "steal" something that would have had to be paid for pre-internet days?

Soon the people making films, music and books like stop, and then all you little bitches will be crying!

I've heard that bands are on tour a lot more than they used to be, because music sales are down so much. I think that illegal downloading is at least partly to blame for this since most college age people I know download music illegally.

When I was in college I illegally downloaded a lot of music and some movies. I knew it was stealing. What made it seem different at the time was how easy it was. I understood that it is not right to steal something simply because it is easy to do so. But simply clicking on a link just doesn't have the same feeling as physically stealing an object. Also, back when I was doing this no one was getting in trouble for it. It was still pretty new.

Later I came to the conclusion that if to many people did what I was doing than musicians that make the kind of music I like may not be as successful and there may be less of that style of music made. When I had money I bought all the music on itunes that I had illegally downloaded. It cost several hundred dollars, but was the right thing to do. I still need to make the movie purchases though.
