I'm not going to convince anyone of anything on HackerNews. I'm up against the entire California Ideology on this forum. Stop it, now you're just whining! 'lelandbatey' is offering you excellent feedback. The number of people that voted you down (or up) is a tiny fraction of the membership. Communication is hard, but you've got good things to say, and people that want to hear you. Probably it's true that no one here agrees with everything you believe, but they certainly don't all agree with each other either. Whether or not the person you are responding to directly understands (American?) intellectual property law, there are others that do, and other perspectives that are important. It's a more diverse community than you give it credit. So you just keep on thinking that "The Internet has changed everything!" No, it hasn't changed everything, but it's sure changed a lot of things, and music is one of those. While practically free and instantaneous delivery may not change drastically change the business of music, it certainly changes the process of discovery. While it's not quite as major as the first phonograph, I think it's likely to have comparable impact. For example, without the internet, I don't think I ever would have found this[1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtX2HPBMcsQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtX2HPBMcsQ. And now that I have, certainly my life will never be the same? [1] Antti Paalanen - Meluta (We Wanna Make Some Noise)
