price for my not having to grow it. If the system is like this people will make money with a quality product but they can't charge me more than I feel it is worth because they are the only means of supply. Since I can't grow it and the risks are greater for the people who do they can charge way beyond margin because I don't have a lot of options, and their margins have to be high to make up for the risk they are taking or its not worth it. It works the same with music if sharing(what you like to call piracy) isn't illegal, or if the industry provides it in a convenient manner and at a reasonable price, criminals can't make money off it. Everyone could share or would have a safe place to go and get good quality music, so a shady criminal element couldn't make money. Why pay someone, with my attention, if I know someone else made the art and I can still get what I want giving the artist my attention. There could be one offical p2p client with no ads. Or it did have ads and the money went to an artist fund or something whatever, (stupid small window I'm losing continuity) point is..... TL:DR version YOU allow people to make money off YOU by not giving them what they want how they want it. "Pirate" sites don't sell music they sell a service. Isn't that what a label is suppose
