I always did think they copped a bit too much stick for defending their intellectual property.

I kind of always felt like the first wave of rampant mp3 dowloading, Napster etc, was as much a story of greedy fans who wanted music for free as one about greedy record companies...
Ya see, that dude holding that guitar that you supposedly admire... he needs to eat. Now he is making the music you love full time and promoting it, but you don't wanna give him or her a red cent for the works he / she is producing. There is something inherently wrong with that economic model, ya know?
