Nicolas Cage quoting LMFAO’s Sexy and I Know It vs. Technologic

Re-blogged for visual truth.
Not to downplay the severity and inherent wrongness in this chart in terms of unfairness for the musician, but how does NOT purchasing the album at all really help the band? You’re still damaging their income. And this chart is a really vague representation of the music industry, it’s not thinking about independent musicians or musicians who actually strike bigger deals with record labels. Stealing someone’s music isn’t helping them, regardless of the percentage they get.
Stop trying to convince yourselves that stealing music isn’t harming anyone. I’m not even saying “don’t do it,” because there are a lot of reasons that a lot of people do pirate music (especially with people who have low incomes/stretched means), but don’t fucking kid yourself that you’re not doing anything wrong. If you’re going to do it, stop boosting up your rational so that you don’t feel bad about it.
^ THIS.
It’s almost too wonderful to be a product of this world.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. I absolutely love Sibelius.
