<DIV>No, I am not naive.</DIV>
<DIV>I've been in the industry and I know how it is.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You're taking this way too personally, as in the person deliberately
planned to hurt you and specifically you only.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>People do not share for an ego boost. They share bc they want people
to hear what they feel is great music. And they will buy the CD. If
they don't buy today, they will tomorrow. They *WILL* always buy.
For those who don't buy this release, they'll buy the next one.
However, as long as one puts out quality, they'll always be able to sell
it.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Do not think like a major label, bc look at the state they're all in.
They cry and cry and still make cookie cutter crap.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>For the love of music, please get off your high horse and calm down.
I bet you've downloaded music before. You cannot say you didn't, bc
anyone who owns a computer and has a brain downloads music.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>A ton of people in the industry download music.<BR><BR>Sent from my

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Honestly, I really wouldn't complain.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I know this will come off as harsh, but it really bothers me people use
this list more for promoting their own stuff than just talking about ambient
music.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You're already investing in making music, but it sounds like you're
involved more fir making some sort if cash flow as opposed to just making
music for the sake of art/the love of it.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If I were a musician, I'd be flattered my music was being shared.
At least it's good enough to be shared. If people dig it, they
will buy it. There are a ton of artists I invested in after I downloaded
their stuff.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The investment is there for you, don't blame file sharing for losing
sales. Maybe people want to try before they buy, bc technology in this
day and age allows them to do so.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Just saying.</DIV>
