The truest statement comes at the very end, people didn’t necessarily want to steal music, it just wasn’t available…
I of the great fortune to have known Marc for 20 years now…. and i can testify to his uncanny ability to see the depth of these issues. I could honestly listen to this for hours. I have a profound amount of respect for Marc and his wisdom.
