Janis Ian (never heard of her? neither had I) wrote a phenomenal article on how downloading hurts/doesnt hurt the recording industry. I've added a critical reading list to the nav bar and this article will stay there for a while. Do check it out and let me know your thoughts.

Check it out and then comment!
