Unleash the PIRATES

I was driving home tonight listening to NPR and they were talking about "media piracy" or more specifically; music piracy. They were talking about how this is damaging the industry and that these corporations are losing millions of dollars.

Interesting enough I have yet to hear of any benefits to such activity. I think that there are positives to this new digital world that we live in. I think the main thing about piracy and more specifically the music industry is that it may lead to freeing music from greed and control. If music becomes free than people may actually develop music worth listening too. And with the advent of YouTube and the like we may see decent video also.

I see piracy as destroying the corporate greed and liberating the artist. Also I see more artists having a chance. We may see artists that actually are in it for the art and not just for the money. How they will eat? I know not. But isn't that always a problem with the majority of artists anyway? Haha.

So I say UNLEASH THE PIRATES!!!
