Most Indy musicians I know are starving artists. They are putting all their effort and what little money they have trying to compose, rehearse, perform and record their music while working a day job. If you were the musician, spending huge amounts of your time, money and energy creating your music, would you want other people to download copies of your music for free? Piracy needs to stop! Please spend the 99 cents to buy a song that has cost the artist so much to create!

Music shouldn't have ever been sold to begin with. Traditionally, musicians made their money on tour and by selling merchandise. They only needed labels in the old days to foot the recording bills, pressing and printing costs, and to distribute their album nationally or internationally. With the advent of home recording software and the internet, all musicians should say good bye to these parasites. *** these leaches. Make your own art, give it away for free and if you're worth your salt, people will still pay to see you. The art has been lost in music by turning it into a business. Simply create for the joy of it and screw the business, it's not worth the headaches, trust me.

What a crappy documentary. A bunch of stuffed-shirt executives whining about file sharing. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......... ..............

Ok at the beginning that guy went on about how sharing isn't really sharing because we don't lose what we share, right? Ok, but then it's not really stealing because the Music Industry still has the music. If i went out and stole your car, or your wallet or whatever, you would no longer have it, would you? Now what the music industry doesn't realize is that 90% of the people that are downloading music for free over the internet, would not get it any other way, simply because it's too damn expensive. They would rather borrow a CD from a friend, and copy it on their cassette recorder or whatever....
A word to the greedy:
Quit whining that instead of being able to own a 10 million dollar home you are being limited to a lousy 8 million dollar home, that's just wrong. Most of your so called enemies can't afford a car of their own....

Another music executive complaining about lost revenue due to p2p
sites. Their cries of Pity me and my family, being robbed of revenue by faceless consumer stealing my content from p2p sites!.. Crap.
the fact is RIAA, and others want people to believe that. Only thing is
most consumers have changed their music buying habits. they dont want whole cds anymore, just mp3s to file in their pdas/ipods, pcs, and cellphones.
Or, if they do buy the cd, they go to walmart and other places where music is severely discounted..
if the music industry had listened to their customers, watched their buying habits, worked with them, instead of trying to sue them, they wouldnt have lost them out to different supply chains.
its 2 years after this documentary has been made, and Ive not heard of a music company suing anyone as of late.
maybe they finally caught on?

Totally understandable that younger people download music,nobody ever has any money, what do they expect with the prices of music nowadays.
