"Make copies for all your friends."

I enjoy going to concerts, in part because I get to discover new music. On one occasion, I arrived at the venue in time to listen to the opening band. I had never heard of Lady Danville before that night. Their performance was upbeat, energetic, enjoyable, and different. After their set, the band members came out into the crowd and hung out near the merchandise table where they were selling CDs and t-shirts. My friend bought one of their EPs and had them autograph it. They encouraged us to make copies of the disk and share it with our friends. The landscape of the music industry is changing. Bands no longer have to rely on big studios to produce and distribute their music. The internet is revolutionizing the dissemination of music to the masses. Copyright laws have their place, but they have become obsolete. If the concept of copyright cannot be updated to coexist with the internet generation, it would be better to leave it in the past.
