Well, Sir Mick has already made HIS money, back WELL before Napster... for all those 'evil' record labels, it didn't prevent him and innumerable others from that period from becoming wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.

I would be VERY surprised if his attitude was the same if he was trying to succeed today.

The thing is, it seems that everyone is resigned to the current attitude of it's OK to STEAL music. Is this what we envision for the future of ALL intellectual property? Hollywood is already sh*tting its' pants at the Rapidshare broadband theft of THEIR movies. Imagine how BAD movies are going to get (ha! you thought they were bad now?! wait...) when they only make 20% of their current revenues from them. You think Cameron could make an Avatar2 with five times LESS money?

If you want to look around and find SOMETHING for how bad you think current music is? Blame people who STEAL music. Don't listen to a rich old fart who already has HIS millions...
