Limewire sued for $75Trillion

[Emithith]

Bwahahaha, 75 TRILLION Dollars? What are they? Foolish? Naive? I don't know, but that's just too much.

People like to blame piracy for shitty sales when really it's because their product is shitty or overpriced.

First off, I would like to agree with that. The products on the music market are mostly shit (Don't flame, opinions are opinions.) now-a-days, and pricing it $39.99 USD a CD is outrageous, I wouldn't even pay $10 USD for it. Seriously.

They enjoy the support from the media, so why don't they enjoy the Pirating just as much..? I'm sure there are some nice bands out there that wouldn't have made it quite as far if they hadn't had their discs pirated. So in a way the piracy is actually giving them MORE money in the end because their music reaches more ears, and thus they get more profit from the people who actually want to buy it.

Band A: Not Pirated, earns 4 Million a year on records alone
Band B: Pirated, but more people have heard of them, and is making 25 Million a year through records because of that.
(I might've blown that out of proportion, but bear with it, the effects are roughly the same)
