I really don't care how wealthy someone is.....a musician's music is their product...they sell it, and make an income from it....I don't really think how rich they are should make it okay to take it without paying for it.
There were lots of old time rock and rollers who never made it rich cause they were cheated out of their royalties by their own managers and record companies, now artists have their own fans added to that.
I buy all my CD's...I may have one or two bootleg Creed things that people have graciously provided to me....but any commercially released CD....I bought and paid for it.....if I copy it....I'm copying it for my use, in order to preserve the original, or to provide a friend with songs to listen to in order to decide if they want to buy something.
And true....this article was actually done back when Napster was giving way anyone and everyone's stuff for virtually free....
