They still, still don't get it.

Sigh.

It's a statement about the power of music that it manages to thrive with idiots like this in charge.

Before there was RadioShark and Podcasts and all the amazing technology of today, there was me taping Eclectic Circus on the CBC in the wee hours of Sunday mornings in 1982, hitting the Record button on my AM/FM/Cassette recorder at the start of the show, falling asleep, then listening to all of it the next day.

Idiots. If the consumer thought they were getting the value they wanted out of a music purchase, they wouldn't try to pirate songs.

    Without comment on the RIAA, people pirate music because they can. The advent of the < $1 song service like iTunes proves that point. How cheap does it have to be before people stop pirating? It never will be cheap enough because people will always want something for nothing if they can get it
