They work on jobs that will get them money, the music is there for them to express themselves. Considering that there is a decent amount of people who enjoy said music, i imagine that they manage to find the appropriate allotment of time to achieve the music that they desire, elsewise they wouldn't continue making music.

Please. Do you seriously think the music industry is going to suffer from this? I remember Helm saying something about how corrupt the industry is, and how it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up, and i think that holds true now. Some people download music to see if they like a band, hence the argument that if they like a cd, or a band, they will buy it/go see them. Myself, i'm one of those you mention, who simply likes the free shit and the abuility to hear music from as many bands i can fit onto my hard drive.

Metallica isn't my band. I'm bitching about them because they're rock stars. Dirty, old, and fading fast. The point about the fish is that i hear all sorts of stories about what so and so rock star did in so and so hotel with so and so many prostitutes, and it gets seriously fucking old, especially when said band's medicore music was only exaggerated through such types of stories.

That's all i do in my free time, don't think i have opinions on many other things than this. Yeah, it probably is a stupid one, too, (seeing as how this turned into a metallica rant more than a rant about filesharing and its adversaries) but i still believe in it, as bullet-riddled as it may seem.

Who says i think i'm a music expert? I listen to music, that's about it. If anything, i'm just a lowly critic, offering an opinion.
