Benny - I tried to post this in the comments section, but was rejected.
"Pirating music is the only choice for many of us today..."
I can't believe you actually published this comment. You're not only condoning, but actually promoting stealing - and stealing from an industry that is on its last leg. I can't tell you how many talented artists I've seen shut down and turned away from recording, promotion, and booking companies because no one can afford to put out music that takes time and might not be a hit. I'm not even talking about the archaic structure of the major labels, but the newer "360" structure. You want to know why all the "popular" music on the radio is pre-manufactured and pushed out in a week? Because that's all anyone can afford to take risks on. Yes, the industry is changing and I hope for the better, because if things continue the way they are, don't expect to hear good/creative/original music on national distribution anytime soon.
Stealing is never the ONLY option, but this isn't about options: it's about adolescent impatience and straight-ahead greed. I thought Gizmodo was above that.

I see that the waxing comment is still there. Nice. I'm sorry I let you down. I feel all bad in my soul. I'm a rotten person.
