WHO MUSIC THEFT HURTS
It’s commonly known as “piracy,” but that’s too benign of a term to adequately describe the toll that music theft takes on the enormous cast of industry players working behind the scenes to bring music to your ears. That cast includes songwriters, recording artists, audio engineers, computer technicians, talent scouts and marketing specialists, producers, publishers and countless others. While downloading one song may not feel that serious of a crime, the accumulative impact of millions of songs downloaded illegally – and without any compensation to all the people who helped to create that song and bring it to fans – is devastating. One credible study by the Institute for Policy Innovation pegs the annual harm at $12.5 billion dollars in losses to the U.S. economy as well as more than 70,000 lost jobs and $2 billion in lost wages to American workers.
Downloaded music free! Wow, that's harmless. I'm sure that's what most people thought, or maybe they didn't think, when this run away train started to get momentum. This train must stop and the personal property rights must be restored. The propagators of this fraud must be dealt with, legally. If I had my choice I would hit them where it hurts. In their wallet.
