Music and art are spirit, when you steal it, you may have it, but you don't get it.
Wood Newton, Nashville, TN - April 4, 2010
I am in the Nashville market weekly, and see so many artist and writers that have lost their positions or pub deals because of this [music theft]. In the last year somewhere between two and three hundred folks have told me their incomes have fallen drastically or completely.
