Re:I stopped... (Score 1)

I for one already don't, my household hasn't bought a CD in years, partly because of the music industry practices and partly because there is nothing we felt we wanted. ALL of our purchases are online and most are for unsigned bands. One part of the problem is that Sony and 'friends' will see people like us and think that we are a minority. But this view is definately becoming more mainstream and if her comments get into the mainstream media she will have done her cause yet more damage. As is pointed out by many others, her view makes almost all people pirates and people like myself who buy a copy legaly tend to resent it. One other thing. I knew people who pirated huge amounts of software in the Amiga days (not distribution, just collecting). Not one of them ever used ANY of their illegal programs, the vast majority were never even installed. It was wrong to get the stuff but it didn't hurt the companies one little bit because they were definately NOT lost sales. I wonder how much music piracy is like that.
