This impacts you how? Your releases now take longer to get posted which means people are MORE inclined to hit the Torrents and steal your music.
Not good.
Ok. Back off topic everyone.

People want to spend money on different things then music, it's not their first priority. If the can get it for free they will.
In this era of the economic crisis, people will download more and more.
Some radical idea to solve this would be offering data packs.
ISP together with online music retailers offering mp3 downloads, and the rest of the bandwidth capped such as newsgroups torrents and p2p.
But think that is not gonna happen.

first the forum says to not buy music, it should be free.
now it's saying to buy music, but it's to support the leaches who make money from selling other peoples' music, not the artist.
the last time I downloaded a song it was legit and it gave me a virus.
interwebs is complicated.
I'm going to pop both my ear drums and be done with it, maybe take up photography.

I would buy music if I had any disposable income, instead of being massively in debt to the point of teetering on foreclosure.
But I would still never steal. There is lots of great music for free and otherwise, what I can't afford will have to wait.
We had one or two forum members saying all music should be free, but it's a personal choice thing for me. I would not justify illegal downloads, but for those who partake, they do their thing and should be prepared for the consequences if caught. If they think it's worth the risk, they'll do it anyway.

Ableton’s engineers are hard
at work developing code that will allow our software to predict the future, but we don’t
anticipate having this available until at least the next major release.

everyone who thinks music should be free should pay my mortgage.
