Curmudgeons, get your facts straight

These days, there are more "solutions" to the problem of music piracy than you can shake a DMCA takendown at. While I'm somewhat in the Steve Albini camp of "we are passing the brief period of history where musicians were able to make a comfortable living," what I find interesting is the side discussions.

I saw this the other day thanks to a RT from a musician friend. I don't believe a word of it.

The author of the comment is betting that their audience lacks exposure to youth the same way they do. Young people are a scary, alien species who don't believe in paying for music.

But it's not because they don't value music of their time.
