The artist has a message to convey through his music and he prefer to do it
between 8 - 5, why would I object?!? I am saying per definition a 8 - 5 work
and then I point to the kind of work most people are payed to do 40 hours a
week and they are not artists I'm afraid.

said I do not pay, I just said that it should not be my problem if the music
industry has a failing business model.

getting tiered of music quickly. I have downloaded music that artists wanted
to share in the past. I used to have a big collection of .mod files on the
Atari in the 90's for example and later mp3s, but I got tired of maintaining
large archives of music that was quickly becoming obsolete in my opinion. I
also got tiered of buying music that became obsolete too quickly, besides
the point that you could not customize the songs on the CD's and
the lifetime expectancy was short in relationship to wear and tear.. And
then came the copy on CD's protection and I had enough of them..

I made it clear before that you have to live on a very very very little
island to not get spammed by the music industry, thus even if you do
not actively finance the lawyers by actively listening to music that is
commercially produced, you still get influenced by music from people around
you that comes from a commercial source. Let's say you even find the free
alternative and tell your friends about where some of them buys the
commercial version thus financing the lawyers..
