Just read that article about Trent Reznor, and I figure I'll share my preachy story in this venue rather than the news post.

The smartest thing I've heard against downloaded music was from Moby -
Music is a massive business driven by profit, not artistic value. So if intelligent people are not buying music, but downloading it then intelligent music will not be produced. If only stupid people are buying music, then only stupid music will be put out.

Then again, thanks to expanding technology and connectivity, underground bands are finding their voice. Speaking of which, everyone should check out pandora.com and the band Of Montreal. And I'm sure people realize that we should all support the artists we love. I just wanted to rant.
