I agree.. Completely. Even when, and IF all these musicians quit or dissapear
because they feel their "art" is being stolen by trading, there will always be
other who make the music to share with people, to influence, and associate
with peoples feelings, and dont do it for the money. I'm sure before Metallica
was being paid HUGE bucks, they were doing it for the fun of making music, and
getting a rush out of others liking it. I really thik that the music industry
is one of the most bloated industries. That and sports. I dont think all the
money that flies around all of it is right at all.
