Of course there would have to be a limit-- those really obsessed with music from other people could not spend more than a set amount, which is where the filesharing sometimes enters the picture. Which came first for a music connoisseur? Filesharing or buying? Which is cause and which is effect? Or are they both independent of one another? These are the sort of questions I feel people should be asking.

People now know that the record companies are charging exorbitant fees, giving hardly anything to artists and generally screwing them over. Buying music directly from artists online or through appropriately priced download stores like amazon is the way forward. Record companies have to realise that the only reason they were so profitable before was because of their own deceit and greed, and now that avenue is gone for good.
