Being a record boss must be a nightmare in this day of age, piracy on the internet is on its peek and will grow to endless tops. I just read about what the frontman of the hardcore band Throwdown, has to say about this:

“I play in a metal band. We have sold around 200k records across 3 releases. We’re not ‘huge’ by any stretch but do alright and live off (and ON subsequently) the road. Fans and friends ask me all the time how I feel about “stealing music.” I just told someone yesterday “I have a hard time seeing it as stealing…when I don’t see any money from cd sales to begin with.”

Could this be the start of an end? Will it get more serious than this? Will the fans of rock music stop buying the cds? Some question that’s good to ask yourself. I am not sure if I am willing to stop buy cds I really want, are you?
