"If this NetPD is what it takes to keep professional musicians writing, recording, and touring so that people can enjoy their music, then I have no problem with it."
It's true that this could spell the end of the Multi-Billion Dollar Recording Artist Franchise, but so what? All of the 'professional' musicians I know write music because they want/need to, play in small bars and clubs because that's all they can get, and maybe burn 100 CDs on a friends PC. And most of them are pretty good. If you ever got the chance to hear them, though, you'd probably have been listening to a pirated MP3. For most 'professional' musicians, love of music is what keeps them going, not love of money.
