I will say it again and hope you read it this time, for the struggling small artist their main problem is the publisher who takes the vast majority of profits as well as putting the artist in debt at startup. Piracy is all too conveniant to cover this little fact up. The artists who have made it and in turn get better record deals are not struggling.

Actually I do get that point.BUT it is still taking without permission the intellectual property of another person whether they be struggling or not.I understand you don't want to pay the fat cats.However the artist STILL wants to be paid for their work..Or why the blooming heck should they fecking bother to even write,produce,hire a studio and go to all all the expense of producing their product.
You can hide behind all the semantics,complaints about high powered music producers asking too much and copyright lasting until the 100th generation as much as you like what you are advocating is just plain wrong.
It's no better than shoplifting.Yes lets not give it the romantic appellation of piracy. Let's just call it digital shoplifting.
