do to excessive illegal downloading, the music
industrys bound to fall. who needs to buy CD's
when you have limewire, rapid share and other
downloading programes at your disposal.

real debaters dont resort to name calling to get
their point across.
according to rolling stone, in an article prinred
in 2007."In 2000, U.S. consumers bought 785.1
million albums; last year, they bought 588.2
million (a figure that includes both CDs and
downloaded albums),"

its 2009

if you take 785-588=170/7years(for 200-2007)=24.28
per year

24 million albums lost to piracy each year. now
2007-2009 is two more years 588-24-24=540 million

540 million may not seem like much but its a
significant loss.

540/24=22.5 years until the music industry
completely collapses.

you say "real bands dont play for money" but the
truth of the matter is that the music industry is
a business.
now allow me to stoop down to your level, "you
ignorant tit."

Real bands don't play for money you ignorant tit.

real bands play live and don't sell out and make
albums so they can make money
