Downloading music is the same thing I used to do: I used to record all the songs in tapes, the hits, the songs I liked from the radio. I don’t care. I hate seeing all those big rock stars complaining. At least they’re paying attention to your music, moron, and they’re paying attention to you, you know? You should appreciate that, fuck. Why are you complaining? You have 5 fucking big houses, so shut up.

While I get the point it’s not really the same thing at all. It’s easy to download a song now. If you’re old enough you know what a pain in the ass it was to record songs from the radio. The problem doesn’t come from the downloading, it comes from the sharing. How many people did you really share that tape with?

I’m all for downloading and I think trying to stop it is a fruitless fight but this is an apples and oranges comparison because you weren’t not buying the song and then sharing it with millions of other people so they can not buy it when you recorded songs off the radio. Instead of everybody sitting at their radio during the Top 40 (Casey Kasem, natch) hoping they record everything properly, there’s one person hitting that record button sharing it with everybody and it doesn’t take hours to get the one song you really want.
