^ Well first of all I don't download music illegally, in fact I spend a not insignificant sum of money on it. I'm just selective in the labels and artists that I support.
Same thing goes for fashion, I buy almost exclusively from brands I respect, brands that utilize ethical, high-end manufacturing. I don't like the associations and ethos of Hugo Boss so I don't buy it. Am I ok with my money going to Rick Owen's lavish lifestyle? absolutely. Am I ok with my money supporting a record company executive whose business practices and ethos I find repugnant? nope.
With violently arrogant and anti-consumer policies the recording industry brought this upon themselves.
