BGGB's Comments
People are confusing the model (and profits) made by larger labels with those of mid-size, small, DIY and independent labels.
There is not an independent artist out there who is making "enormous profits" from digital music.

If the person is on a large label and makes more than enough money to live on, that is one thing.
However a vast majority of musicians out there, including many of the ones with stuff in your library right now, do not.
It is up to them whether their albums cost money, not you.
If you don't want to pay for it, listen to something else.

making "reasonable copies" is one thing.
not paying a dime for any/most/a lot of the music you enjoy at home is something else entirely.
