churrundo ONLINE (01/17/2013) [-] What would happen if instead of copying music files you were copying dollar bills?

BlahDude (01/17/2013) [-] Thing is, the value of a song DOESN'T drop if it gets copied
Because I may download a whole bunch of songs, and copy them for my friends, we're still gonna enjoy the song the same as if we bought them
Plus we're still gonna be willing to pay to see the song live, something you can't really pirate

churrundo ONLINE (01/17/2013) [-] Economical value is the one that counts, not the sentimental value. It used to cost, say, 1 dollar, now it costs nothing to get it. Its value dropped.
This makes the music you like (the one you download) not worth producing, leaving the record companies with the only option of funding the music that will bring money in, like Justin Beiber and Nicki Minaj.
The problem is that the people that buy more music are the teenagers with a "shitty" taste on music, while the adults don't have time for that.

kingnarnode ONLINE (01/17/2013) [-] see the flaw in your logic is that fans still buy cd's, buy merchandise, and pay to go to concerts. The value hasn't dropped at all, more people now can just acquire copies of it illegally, which in reality doesn't affect things all too badly since they aren't physical copies, rather they are digital. If music that was pirated was "not worth producing" as you put it, then it wouldn't be produced.

churrundo ONLINE (01/17/2013) [-] i guess if music was a completely pure art where you don't expect anything for your expression (like that graffitti post said a few days ago) then it would be ok to acquire it for free. But it's not. You are supposed to make a sacrifice for that acquisition, and you aren't supposed make a new product (by copying a file) because the only one that is allowed to create that file is the record company. By copying it you are creating a new one, out of the will of the artist (and the record company, by extension).
