Agreed.

Not taking the moral high ground, either, but the fact is, despite all the whining they do, boycotting a record label isn't going to put them out of business. As I said earlier, all they will do is take the A & R money that would have gone into discovering quirky new talent and use it to plug the holes in the rest of it meaning more and more dross. I am not saying "omg you should never download", but I am saying that it is probably misguided to think that you not buying their product is going to mean jack shit to them in the long term.
