How come people throw shit fits when their pics get stolen but someone elses music is ok to steal?

I somewhat agree, there are too many douchebag "rock stars" who are trying to make a living off some shitty band. The fact is that they're in it for the wrong reasons.
I've been in bands for about 6 years now, & I can tell you one of the coolest moments was when I happened to do a search on Audiogalaxy (back when it was still free), and someone had ripped our songs from our record (which is kind of a pain in the ass, if you've ever digitized vinyl)...I was pretty excited that someone liked my band enough to actually put forth the effort to do this....we got free exposure, we didn't lose money. Of course, the type of music we play would never appeal to a mainstream fratboy crowd...average people wouldn't play it at a party or a fucking rave or any shit like that.
My point is this: Assholes who care about losing money from downloads should really take 2 steps back and remember why they started playing in the first place. Because it's fun as fuck.
By the way, anybody who wants to "steal" some of our songs, lemme know....we just recorded some new shit...for the rockers.
