DISQUS

No musicians win because of piracy. A corner store does not win when someone steals coca cola from the store to 'try it out'

Stealing is stealing, and that is exactly what music piracy is. Making excuses for downloading by saying that it 'only helps the small artist' is just a copout to help downloaders feel more justified and ethical with the fact that it is stealing.

Hard to believe how this could go on for so long. We can only hope there is a serious balancing period where the US is able to redeem itself on the world stage.

Unfortunately, and stereotypically, it often reflects on individual people. Up here in Canada, many people believe that a large percentage of the US population is ignorant, conservative, antiquated and aggressive.

Great resource list Michael. If you get a chance, can you please do a review and top ten list for Ebooks about Marketing. I love blogs, but find that the information is very scattered at times, and love the simplicity that an Ebook offers for researching and learning.

Excellent pictures, especially the ones of the 'stash'. Once I hit the 'cerebral' shops it's unlikely I would have gotten much further :)
