I see nothing wrong with piracy.
Think of it from the artists prespective. You are a musical artist new to the scene and want people to start listening to your music. You put some videos up on youtube, and have some stuff on itunes. Someone finds your music and likes it, but isn't willing to pay a dollar a song for your stuff(which is alot btw).
Would you rather have this person: A: Not buy any of your stuff, thus not spreading your music to other listeners, gain no fame B: The person downloads the songs from youtube for free, spreads the word of your music to others, and many people listen to your music and enjoy it, leading to increased fame
the choice is quite obvious.
Thoughts?
