indeed

and, and this of course is general speak b/c your music is dope and worth every penny you charge but...

consumers work for their money

a lot of serious music consumers have flushed mucho dollars on crap because of the way it was advertised or presented and the inability to hear it first to decide whether a purchase is worth it or not

(and artists who are music fans know this)

so a lot of fans may feel they have, themselves, been stolen from (via advertising or false promises by the seller, by being convinced that they were buying a dope cd when it was crap) by various artists/labels/what have you over the years and they may indeed feel "entitled" somehow to "getting back" the money they "wasted"

i mean some would say that the nature of capitalism creates this whole unnecessary conflict as it does with all buyer/seller relationships, but y'know, that's just commie pinko talk...
