The above after reading the entire passages seems little more than a 
facade to hide the writer's desire to pirate music....

Why is he only interested in the musician? What about the photographers 
that give the musicians more visual appear than much of their music 
merits? Boob, naval and pelvic thrust videos sell more songs than the 
music does.

What about the web designer and programmers that put together the sites 
that sell the music. Any concern about them?

How about the poor guy climbing poles in a hurricane to keep the wires 
up so the electricity flows? Any mention of him?

What I really don't understand is why people are so obsessed with 
worrying about the incomes of multi-millionaire musicians. It seems 
like misguided attitudes to me. But then I've never understood the 
crowd mentality that cheers for multi-millionaire ball players and then 
goes home to cold franks and beans. Maybe that is it, hiding from 
reality...
