You obviously don't know much about the industry when you say things like this.
How much do you think it costs to Record an album?  What do you think pays for
the Recording Time?  How's a semi-unknown band going to sell anywhere near
enough Merchandise to pay for their Recording Bill?  Just because you want all
your music free does not make it the best thing for the industry or the bands
in the industry.

And, as Rob has said.. by your logic then Computer Software, Books, Photos,
Videos, etc should all be free as well then eh?  All because they're so easily
shared...  please.
