And this justifies stealing from them? It may surprise you to know that managers at any of the major corporations make insane amounts of money - the same corporations that employ a huge number of people around the globe. Does that mean everyone should be stealing the products and services of those companies - resulting in downsizing, and firing of employees - just because the managers make insane salaries? I think not.Am I to take this as meaning that those who create art are the same as those who package macaroni, process petroleum, or drive taxis?
Sorry, but when music execs make zillions while musicians starve is a true injustice; I won't lump the chairman of Kraft in with them just because they make a lot of money also.
The practices of the RIAA have resulted in a consumer backlash. Any artist who only wants to blame the consumer loses ALL of my sympathy.
