[QUOTE="Arrow%20NLI:1328481"][QUOTE="mattvc:1328479"]Sorry but this is pure bullshit. If this were true, why has every branch of every record label suffered massive layoffs in the past few years?[/QUOTE] Do you really want me to answer this? Because piracy is only a tiny fraction of the answer. How many people even give a shit about music at all as much as 20 years ago? How many venues have closed in that time, and how many of those were due to piracy? Clearly it's all piracy's fault, and not just a gigantic shift in the popularity of music among the arts. Piracy also killed opera, ballet, and people spending fortunes on artwork. The internet and data delivery in GENERAL, both legal and ILLEGAL, have put a wrench in the industry. The industry's slow response to adapt or take advantage of this sh7ift is the reason the ILLEGAL gained popularity much faster than the legal. Also, those labels you see dying - how old are they? What's the odd's they started somewhere in the industry boom during the 70's, 80's, and 90's? Industry has waned, no doubt, but it's sad to try and pin it all on the customers, and not the industry itself. [/QUOTE]
