Pirate Coelho (2008)

>Regular readers of my blog probably remember my endless discussions about copyright. Every time that I see a song in my profile “deleted by the author” I ask to myself: don’t they understand that if I hear a song and I like, chances are that I will buy the CD?

Most wont. They'll just download the album in mp3. Unless they're over 40.

And they have the numbers about that - averages of what they used to sell pre-internet, what they sell now, which parts of those are digital sales, which are streams of the album, etc.
