$550 for a ticket?

Fuck me.

At that price, they can have their live concert; I'll download their music for free - kthxcyalater.

If it were cheaper for a ticket I'd go for sure; and I know downloading their music for free is morally questionable; yet such is the world we live in.

Why should I make an effort to make less morally questionable decisions; especially in relation to downloading music; when millions of other people don't give a shit. It won't "turn the tide" of "good vs evil" (the epic saga continues? dundundun?).Thus, when I die some time from now, I can say with confidence that I will not have the regret of downloading music for free on my conscience.

There are already enough diehard fans who attend there shows and buy their merchandise. The rich shall stay rich; and my money shall stay in my pocket.

Sure it's probably an overly philosophical/moral/*insert your favorite adjective here* approach to the topic; and most likely containing many flaws in logic. Yet, take it for what it is (stupidity?).

Whatever the outcome, I'm sure we'll all care in 100 years time.

Edit: I don't mean to come across as a person who's personal philosophy = fuck the world, as long as my life semi decent; it doesn't really matter. I don't care what hardships my decisions may consequently bring to bear upon people in 100 years time. It's just that I'm not willing to pay for music that has been marked up in price by 200% just so some guy can have more money than he knows what to do with / can spend in his lifetime. Sure every song by every artist that I have deserves every single cent that it's worth; but you know what? - No, just no.

Sigh, there I go again.
