Illegal downloading...that's not even the issue anymore. Cause y'all don't even want to OWN your music anymore - even though it's stolen not legally purchased.

The issue is illegal "STREAMING."

Any song, any time, anywhere- for free.

Streaming stolen and immensely limited (Loudness Wars) music without any dynamics 24/7 on your cell, through low quality headphones.

WHY IT'S ALL BAD?

Don't let music become a completely faceless, intangible and worthless...thing made by amateurs.
I promise you, it won't sound the same.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IS:

Musicians go broke and thus can't be musicians anymore pro musicians turn into hobby musicians
('cause we all have no day jobs but FULL TIME jobs now) ->

GINORMOUS DECREASE IN THE QUALITY of music

and

THE COMPLETE LOSS OF VALUE OF MUSIC and anything downloadable/streamable.

Compensation wise (writers, producers, etc): It takes 200 legal streams to make up for ONE legal download!

No actual money has been paid to writers and producers since streaming hit the big time.

This "system" ain't working!

FIRST YOU STOLE THE MUSIC YOU LOVE, NOW YOU STILL STEAL IT
BUT YOU DON'T EVEN WANT TO OWN IT ANYMORE?

THINK!
