    i think the future of music consumption involves artists directly selling to
    the public and bypassing major labels - this certainly won't eliminate piracy,
    but it will put more money directly into the pockets of artists, who continue
    to be ripped off by the music industry now more than ever - the whining of
    the major labels is sickening, especially when you see lawsuit after lawsuit by
    artists who have been ripped off by the millions - i have no sympathy for the
    conglomerates and would gladly fork over my dollars directly to the artists
    whose music i want to own -

    that being said, this scenario rings true, as i see it happening among middle
    school and high school kids - by the time they get to college, even the least
    sophisticated young person knows how to bypass copyright protection like
    walter payton moving through even the most potent defense -
