This Little Piggy Got Shutdown
So the internet is with one less bittorrent tracker, it's over now isn't it? The common argument (or more like justification) for using Bittorrent to download music is because fans are looking for a quick and easy way to get music and paid alternatives often times aren't good enough. iTunes apparently has popups and DRM (which is from what I understand impossible to circumvent) then theres Amazon which provides DRM free tracks but... well thats Amazon.
I like my music free, downloaded from random websites and when one of the more obscure ones is shutdown I cry foul and blame everyone except the artists for being douche bags and actually signing up with the lables that are part of this world wide conspiracy. Yes being with labes gets these artists lots of money but apparently they are immune to doing wrong because they play the music. No mention on how their popularity is the result of these lables pouring money into their petiful careers only so that they end up spending the rest of their days as drug addicts.
What I'm trying to say is simple, if you want better service you don't just go and start stealing things, you go make the company fix its shit up. You circumnavigate DRM, you stop buying from stores with popups, you protest with your money.
Thats what a consumer should do in the event he or she is provided subpar service. If they start stealing then they are not consumers, they're thieves.
