No, this is none of those things, because illegal downloading is here to stay. Nor is this an old-man rant about the ease of illegal downloading and the valueless clicking that kids these days do and how in my time we had to walk two miles in the snow to Record Mart only to find that, sorry, the new Depeche Mode album was out of stock, and those crazy ADD-addled youths don't even know what albums are anymore because they're wired up on the YouTubeEMusicFacebookPandora TwitterGorillaVsBearStereogum sites. Truth be told, the artists are making up lost revenue in increased concert ticket prices, the record stores are reverting back to the more-popular-than-ever vinyl format, and after years of bloated excess, most everybody concurs that the music industry deserved to be decimated. This isn't one of those tired rants about the perils of illegal downloading and how it's bankrupting the artists and killing the record stores and decimating the music industry.
