... that doesn't help video store people out of a job.

I'm not saying they collapsed solely by downloading. But that sure fucking helped And they are a testament to the idea of "oh like the rich artists are hurt" excuse not really holding up.

[kallanda_lee]

But what are you arguing then, that we should artificially sustain outdated media, and outdated ways of distributing it?

I loved video stores. I hate to see them go. But if I'm honest, I wasn't using them anymore (even before I started downloading things).

Yes, the video stores workers are out of a job and that sucks - but there are other jobs that have historically disappeared. You don't see that many blacksmiths anymore, either. You can't really stop that from happening - at best, you're stalling.

Really? I see my blacksmith every 7 weeks to shoe my horse, his job title is just "Farrier" or "shoer" instead of the dated phrase 'blacksmith.'

Same job, just different title. :)

[kallanda_lee]

Sure, but that's part of my point. Your "farrier" is to a blacksmith what pay TV/legal downloads are to video stores. But your farrier is probably not making battle armor or swords anymore (unless he's a very specialized person who makes things for medieval re-enactment).

[insanenoodlyguy]

Perhaps you can't. But lets not pretend the music business was all rich artists and fatcat corporations. There were other folks in this.
