High salary means that I have a very high expectation of your morals.
That's funny, with me it's the other way around.
To be fair, all it does is open and close the valve to control whether it should or shouldn't give beer. The guy is doing the rest of the work and it looks like he's never poured a keg before.
Yes, I can give away my music for free. But why the hell should I pay the MAFIAA for that? I think you're the one rationalizing and justifying what they're doing. Try it for yourself: record an album and then try to get CD's replicated and printed by a professional service without paying the MAFIAA. Maybe it's possible in the US, but not here in NL last time I checked. Or sell your album as a small artist and try to get money back from them. It's not possible because as a small artist, you'll never reach the threshold. Even if you're lucky enough to reach the threshold, it's just some change they'll give you. I think you have no idea how much they're screwing us, both artists and consumers.
As I said, it's not that I want to take everything without paying. I do support bands by buying merchandise from them directly because I know my money will go to them, I just refuse to support the MAFIAA.
