Rowan Tree and Red Thread

Glenn McDonald explains at length why the music industry has forfeited his loyalty, and that of music lovers everywhere.

To quote:

"And these are only the handful of reasons I have for stealing.
Arguably some of them are good, some are not. Other people may steal
less, and for better reasons, and I'm sure plenty steal more for worse
or none. But know, in the end, that you created this crisis.
You had decades of control, and you spent it on complacency and greed,
and so evolved this inevitable rebellion. You took everything you
thought you could get away with, and now you are wheezy robber barons
begging the government to protect your dwindling hoards. I've defended
you for far too long. You smiled when you first got away with selling a
Billy Joel LP for $8.98, and you can damn well smile again now when we
fold the worthless thing into jagged thirds and ram it up your ass. You
created the aesthetic of disposability, and now you are its most
beautifully disposable work. We will mourn you in infinite song."
