As someone who was sick and tired of the Beatles and their crap 30 years ago I could care less. All this will do is put more money into Micheal Jackson’s pocket.

Personally… I go with the ”likwidshoe motto” and by that I mean, @#$% RIAA (his words not mine, lol), but my thoughts exactly

I pay for my music fair and square. I’d be ticked if someone was stealing my posts and republishing them on their blog, so I’m not going to steal someone else’s music.
Plus, a lot of the artists I listen to aren’t exactly well known. So buying one of their tracks puts some money in their pocket to help them keep making the music I like.
It’s how the market works. If you aren’t going to support the artists you like with your money the market is going to keep making crap.
And I don’t care what you guys say: I love the Beatles. Cliched, I know, but I grew up with ‘em. Can’t help myself.

But somehow the techno world doesn’t run like this at all. Most of the music is free. There’s a thriving jungle scene, house scene, and a minimal scene that’s blowing away anything else at the moment.
Money doesn’t fuel good artistry.
Can you imagine doing a crappy job at your employment and then telling your employer that it’s because you’re not paid enough (the music artist argument)? Or doing a crappy job and then saying that you “lack funds to do the job right” (the government argument)? No, because they’re silly-assed arguments.

Ah, the Beatles. The original “Boy Band.” Hyped because of their hair and the fact that the teeny bopper girls went sterile just thinking about them. The only thing separating them from N*Sync etc. is that they didn’t dance.
Well, okay...they did play actual instruments too. Talented bunch, but nowhere NEAR worth the hype. But it was a smaller world back then.

Oh come on...boy band? N’Sync?
Listen to Across the Universe. Nowhere Man. I Want To Hold Your Hand.
It was poetry. They weren’t overhyped. They connected with the masses in a way I’m not sure any other band has.

I don’t think anyone in the music industry is making that argument. They just want to get paid for what they created.
Seems fair to me. Unless you’re a socialist who thinks there is no such thing as intellectual property.
