I simply stated what they say. By judging it, we lose out. We can't change the collective group, until technology changes it. Unfortunately but yet, oddly not at all unfortunate, technology is going more open, and this isn't going to help.

It comes down to, the people are telling the labels they want something different but labels say no, then try to tell the people what they want.

That has never worked.


The big business profiting from this, the real business people... which we know is happening, they took the word Piracy and replaced it with the word fans.

They want more fans, aka: eyeballs. And piracy is just 1 TINY part of the possible eyeballs. It's not like the Majority of the Internet pirates, that bands, music.

These people are looking at the overall... no mater how many ways you twist it, you can't saturate yourself.... so even thinking that Piracy hurts you, is impossible. Nobody has ever haven't reached even 1% of the possible market, even if your on every pirated site in the world.


This game... is way, way, way ... bigger than the minds here on gfy allow it to be.
