It also ignores another very real issue: People who are being demonized and treated as thieves by the music bussiness are not very likely to be positive to the same bussiness.

I don't know about you, but personally I have a lot of negative feelings towards the music bussiness. Enough so that I choose to spend my entertainment-cash elsewhere. Enough so that I currently consider it ethically questionable to give money to the immoral cartel of big music companies. I prefer that my money are not used to figth to diminish my fair-use rigths, the "first sale" rigths and my rigth to listen to music I own how and where I want.

Music is entertainment. Personally, I'm not much entertained any more.
