The record industry argument is spurious!
They argue that they are losing the revenue from the lost sales. However, If the "music (doubtful classification in most cases)" couldn't be downloaded for free, would that purchaser actually buy it?

For info: I don't download, I'm not interested: my small collection of classical LPs is suffucient for my needs!
I just don't like to see powerful business interests getting away with a cr*p case!
