Come on...music is music. Sure, the advent of transferable digital music made piracy easier on some but it is by no means new. I remember when people screamed about casette tape piracy. Most of those people had to pay for their music too...the difference was where the money went. Now they simply bemoan the lack of money all together.
I wonder what the old Italian opera composers though of the way the gondoliers used to flock to their operas to learn new tunes to sing as they pushed their boats through the canals. "How dare he sing the song I wrote!?" or "Free publicity!"
