173. that's exactly the problem
You want the music, you pays the price. Pretty simple.


It's not "pretty simple." To grasp this issue, a person needs to understand technological change, the role of the RIAA, the history of the RIAA, and how artists have in fact been compensated.

One needs to understand the issues of copyright law and how other nations are dealing with this issue. What a big surprise to find out no other nations have allowed a trade group to go berserk like this corporate-controlled, corrupt government in the U.S. has.

These are just a few of the issues. Alternative methods, such as the creative commons, need to be understood.

So in fact it is not "pretty simple."
