I am a serious musician, and I think p2p file sharing is great. as a matter of fact, most musicians think it is great. it's the stupid ass record industry that is trying to squash new technology. I know that some musicians think that file sharing sucks. I just got a little pissed when that guy said that musicians don't play for money because I have numerous friends that play music for a living.
Do you have any idea how much goes into becoming a musician? Year and years of practice, heart and soul.
Yep. And is they're any good, financial reward is not why they do it.
would a plumber be a plumber if money wasn't involved? would you be a programmer or network specialist or anything else for that matter if there wasn't a way to pay your bills and support yourself involved? Didn't think so. So why would a serious musician be any different? oh wait.....they aren't.......
