Seriously, if some of you guys can't/won't drop a $1 on a good song, you're life is fucked. You can claim every excuse known to man, but stealing music when it only costs a
dollar, says everything anyone would ever need to know about you as a person.

If you want to support the artist, watch their ad enabled videos, buy band merchandise and go see their shows.
Nobody's making any noticeable money except the middle men with the physical CD (which happens to wear out, scratch and become USELESS way too easily.
Fuck 'em!

Let me guess, they should be playing for free too?
In that 25 year span, what do you suppose the increase was in gas, energy, personal insurance, vehicle insurance, wages, travel expenses, location rental, location insurance, and general inflation? And... it's The Who.
I paid a few hundred dollars to see The Eagles in Bangkok a couple of months ago. Paid it without any complaints and it was worth every penny. Some groups can get top dollar, and you will usually get what you pay for. But it's not cheap for the large acts to tour.
