Simple Reasons Why Music Piracy Cannot Be Stopped

There are several simple reasons why music piracy simply cannot be stopped.  I need not delve further than the following:

A)  Any TRUE music fan has spent forty years listening to their favorite artist complain about the injustices bestowed upon them by "The Man".  It is forty years too late for a label to beg for loyalty from its patrons, especially without the support of the artists they are representing.

B) The most popular developed alternative to file sharing is to pay a dollar per song downloaded.  Is that absurd or what?  I can buy a terabyte external hard drive for 70$ today.  For forty something dollars I can now get the iPhone 3g!... but you're gonna charge me a dollar per song?  A price war with piracy would run the labels out of business.  We are not dealing with merchants in a back alley selling dvds for 5 dollars.  On the internet everything is free.

C)  Several bands have proven that independently releasing albums at a donation cost actually increases profit to artist, as opposed to releasing an album trough a label.  Furthermore, the same attempts show that recognition among the file sharing community has actually increased album sales.

In the end, the music piracy trend cannot be stopped first and foremost because there is no reasonable alternative to downloading music for free.
