I pay for music I own. Like, on CD, Vinyl. I have a large collection. Often, I buy something because I downloaded it and liked it. Now, if I don't download it, then I don't hear it, and I don't buy it.
Pure fucking greed, that's what drives the industry. And they dare to call us thieves.
your argument here is pretty bad. you're basically saying "i can't hold the music in my hand so i shouldn't have to pay for it them greedy fucktards blaaaaah." music is music. do you really think that back when cds were popular you were paying $20 for a plastic disc? no, the physical materials cost maybe 5 cents, the other $19.95 was because of the content the cd contained.
overpriced? maybe. too many people sticking their hands in as middle men? probably.
but just because technology is shifting doesn't mean digital downloads don't count as actual property because you can't touch them with your hands or shove them up your ass.
