To be completely frank, I couldn’t care less if it’s stealing or not. They should sell their shit for cheaper if their companies care so much, which I’m not sure they really do.

If they do that how will they pay the artists millions of dollars.. And how will they buy their latest private jet or yacht or whatever.

Most artists never make any money at all...

As an artist, where is my million dollars?

No offense. I'm talking about the ones that do.
