If you don't allow artists to profit from the fruits of their labor, many if not most of them will stop producing new music. You can take it to the bank.
Anyone who truly loves music and creativity--and who wants more of it in the future--should understand that protecting artists' intellectual property is the best thing we can do.

If you don't artificially allow artists to profit from the fruits of their labor, many if not most of the ones who are doing it just for profit will stop producing new music.
Anyone who truly loves music and creativity should understand that intellectual property laws hamper rather than help creativity and the evolution of art. A musician should be able to hear a song and say "hey - I could use that riff and do something different and interesting with it." Beethoven did it. A writer should be able to read a sentence and say "that's an awesome description, I can use that to help make a great and creative story." Shakespeare did it.
