Re: [microsound] industry loses big

[Derek Holzer <derek@xxxxxxx>]

boo-hoo go the record execs!  this figure assumes, of course, that every
"pirated" CD would have been bought somewhere if not downloaded. i, for one,
would never be seen by decent citizens walking into a Tower records to buy a
copy of Christine Aguilaria's newest *soft*pop*bubble*porn*. but behind the veil
of anonymity that peer to peer provides, i can indulge in this perversion to my
heart's content! the small detail of it's being free only adds to my pleasure...
