downloaded music probs

[Eric Cartman]

that's the thing, we don't wanna pay. by buying that POOF, WE aren't saving jobs. If the record company CEO's took a tiny sliver off their bonus, the employees would get paid. period, don't argue, i won't listen. It's those greedy POOF that take the money.

You're right of course, how silly of me. My company just canned 900 people (including a few VPs) and there will most likely be a second round of cuts in February, Warner Canada got rid of their entire distribution operation last year, Sony's laying off 20,000 (admittedly that's mostly not music people) and rumours abound that EMI's about to announce major cuts. None of this has anything at all to do with rampant illegal downloading. It's all the fault of the CEOs

Sleep well tonight, you haven't contributed to anybody's misery. Theft is just fine.
I wish you could have been a fly on the wall to see the tears and the gloom in this place two weeks ago when the axe fell. You're very sure of yourself now, and you know all the answers, but that might have made you rethink things a bit.
