Why do people continue to purchase music from large record labels?
Question by Lunarsight: Why do people continue to purchase music from large record labels?
With large record labels constantly treating consumers like dirt, I always wondered why people continue to support them by purchasing their music.
When I say they ‘treat consumers like dirt’, I’m referring to the piracy lawsuits they’ve been unleashing on various people. Among their targets are 12 year olds, college students, and people on welfare. In many cases, they don’t have a strong case at all, and merely use the threat of a lawsuit as a method of extorting money from the people in question.
Can anybody give me any insight on this?
I think the issue isn’t buying albums versus downloading. The issue is buying (or downloading) those albums on major record labels who treat consumers like dirt, as opposed to those on independent record labels who respect their fanbase more.
I just want to make sure I’m clear on this – I’m not advocating piracy of any kind. Rather than pirate major label music, I’m in favor of boycotting it outright.

Because they might still have dial-up connection. Do you know how long it takes to download an album at such a speed? It’s just easier to go buy the album.
