It's become a generational thing now, ingrained into people's mindsets that it's just ok to do.

The big question is 'what price on copyright'?

The music industry has caused most of it's own problems here, by feeding the public, candy floss music, that after a few weeks, no one wants anymore.
Sure there are a few greats out there, but they are getting few and far between and not producing the goods anymore.
I have just been looking back to some music released in the early nineties.
Not great really and certainly not worthy of repeat playback or revenue.

But hey who decides on quality anyway?
