I BUY MUSIC

Ok, so we've all done it. We've all downloaded something for free. We've all got a big batch of music of one of our mates. We've all borrowed something from the library, ripped it, and taken it back. I'm not a complete stranger to the odd bit of 'liberation'. But this is getting serious. You see, you like music. You like music of a certain standard. You even like the artists. Some of you, even have feelings for the artist. How do you think we, as artists, can make music if there is no money in it? Are we, by default, expected to suffer for our art? Does that make it more true? You see, we live in what is known as reality. Money doesn't float down from the heavens. Bills aren't paid by some patron. Food doesn't fill our fridges miraculously. So we have to work. And when we work, we're not making the music you like. We're not giving it top priority, because we can't.

I buy music.

Maybe you should?
