That sucks. I've talked to struggling musicians who's so-called
"fans" say
straight to their face that they really enjoy their music but that
they
didn't pay for it - just got it off someone else or from a P2P site.
That sucks and that's not any way to be a fan.
I'm not surprised that Geist is feeling the way he is. How long
could you
possibly put up with that bullshyte before losing it?
I suspect this is especially annoying as MG has made his stuff
available on iTunes. I mean you can't get any easier to buy than that.
I can proudly say that as a "fan" I have every one of his records and
have gladly paid for them. I'm of a different generation to the fans
he talks about though.
