All I want for Christmas is anything but a fucking CD. Dear Sony, Thank you for taking a knotty issue and making it clear-cut. For years I avoided music piracy, preferring to download songs only if I either owned the CD or was trying to decide whether to buy it. I bought music to support the artists who made it, thinking that I was making the right decision by fueling the obsolete business model your industry uses over the free-for-all that is internet piracy. How wrong I was. Had I realized the depths that your industry would sink to in its death throes, I would have wholeheartedly embraced piracy much earlier. Ripping off multinational corporations and stiffing successful recording artists are bad, but nothing compared to supporting a company that will illegally invade the privacy of its paying customers. I'm disgusted by your actions, and most of the people I've talked to feel the same way. Congratulations on hastening your own downfall. In the future, I think I'll illegally download all the songs I want, and then MAYBE wire the actual artist some cash. Sincerely someone else's, Nick Ciarochi Nick ::: 5:41 PM ::: 3 comments |
