Why does this matter?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because Drew is claiming that artists are losing money.

Well they are, indirectly. The record company isn't going to sign them to as big a deal if they know they aren't going to be able to make as much off their records because of rampant copying.

My point is that it seems as if a lot of people justify downloading/sharing by saying "oh, I'm just taking some small profits from a big evil record corporation, who cares?" when, cliched as it may sound, stealing is stealing.

maybe im nitty, but downloading/sharing isnt stealing, if anything its copyright infringement
