For what it's worth, if you download (for free) a Beatles/Stones/Pink Floyd album, they aren't exactly losing royalties, y''know? Also, if you are downloading one of their albums and NOT other starving artists' albums, then there is no lost sale toward that artist.
On a similar note, shouldn't we just totally lobby against youtube for copyright violations and loss of sales etc for hosting videos containing songs by these young, screwed-by-the-record-label artists (Lady Gaga for example). But, last time I checked, nobody seems to, and neither are any of the visitors to the pages that contain the videos getting sued for illegally downloading copyrighted material etc.
Also, I do agree with Louigi. Should there be a mandatory price on creativity?
