There's going over at the message board about filesharing services, and about halfway down the page or so is an interesting response from Steve Albini (username "steve"), who has some good thoughts on the subject.

....and this led me to another fantastic Steve-O writing entitled . Now I have a sick feeling in my stomach.

yeah, i've read that before. makes you think.

It also makes me late for "work."

Great thread though. Good insights on a complicated issue. Now have to go make a living so I can buy some of the music I like.

As musician and a visual artist though, I have to say I am in support of filesharing depending on use. If someone wants to use something of mine for personal (or even semi-personal) use, great. If Perpsi wanted to use it in a commercial or something of that scale, then that's a different story.

Whaddaya think?
