PISS OFF. Some entitled brat's love doesn't pay the bills, it doesn't cover the cost of gas to get to a gig, it doesn't pay the loan for the gear, it doesn't generate revenue for whatever group financed the production of the album. If music was a visual rather than aural would any of you think you had the right to just walk away with a painting because 'you really
really liked, no!
loved it'? REALLY? Think about that for an honest minute.
Better question... why are only 6 of his songs available for free on his own website but I have the option of purchasing singles through the iStore or discs through distributors?

Scroll up a little bit about my What-if music was visual. Copying from youtube is the equivalent of walking through a museum and photocopying paintings.
