Very interesting thread.
I can't help but think how sad it is the old days are gone forever.
Has anyone noticed how rapidly the world has changed, especially in the last decade?
We no longer sit at the dinner table with the famiglia.
Children don't play stick ball any more.
Internet rather than the stoop is the source of entertainment and mingling.
It doesn't seem like it really matters much, but it does.
The next generation is being raised by greedy degenerates that display their sheer stupidity to sway a young audience to watch their stuff on tv or the net. Without any scrupples whatsoever. There are consequences for the messages conveyed from this so called entertainment.
Life imitates, that is so obvious in all circles of life. Just look at the parishoners behavior. Jealousy and possessiveness, just like the church. Have no g*d before me. Must be a weak g*d to depend on our loyalty, and "he" created everything. The religious institutes can't even heal cancer, but they know how to drive fear and guilt. Manipulative the same as gov. And the population here still believes. It all ties together. A person is formed by the upbringing in the early stage of life. Take a look at cartoons a big influence in our upbringing, it is deliberately written with events not resembling reality. This is to create a society lacking logic and truth. That's why so many still believe some one walked on water or built a canoe that kept animals from eating each other or the hosts. And there was 40 days worth of food, wow I believe a ha. This way we are easily tricked into conforming to their idea of life for the paupers. Is it 90% of the pop. will settle for sterile food? Budweiser outsells all belgian beers grouped together.
Back to the piracy issues:
So what are the music industry execs losing? The income that should rightly go to the musicians or their lavish life styles. If any one is stealing it is the music industry. Funny the ones who cry theif are the biggest theifs themselves.
On the other hand, how much value do we bestow on something we don't pay for. If something really had value for us in our heart we would cherish it and give our undivided attention.
What does music mean to us?
We stand and solute a flag that serves the rich and unites people to say I am this and if you are not screw you!
But music, beautiful music deserves our attention.
We have been lied to from day one by schools church and media or government same thing.
