If you think for one second that killing the internet and piracy will ever bring back the flood of money you received in the past, you are dead wrong.
First thing that comes to mind is prohibition. Hackers, just like bootleggers were, have always been smarter than you and a step ahead.Secondly, your over inflated prices, and mediocre artists are finally grossing what they have always been worth. I never bought a Nickelback album, and I never will, and If you want to literally sink your label because you will make maybe 3% more on album sales but actually 1% of their fan base actually listen to their 23 dollar new album and forget they exist then be my guest. Sounds like Darwinism to me. I will continue to listen to free or reasonably priced music from people who work hard at their craft, instead of listen to average songs made out to be iconic songs by a marketing team of people who never even listened to the band. Just send them through the hype machine and you can buy that new car.
Makes me sick.
