I well remember the roaring trade in counterfeit cassette tapes that took place in the Barras market in Glasgow.
The police have regularly raided the stalls, in recent years seizing millions of pounds worth of counterfeit goods, including CDs and DVDs.
Such illegal sales are part of a network of serious and organised crime allegedly linked to drug gangs and violence.

A deep delve into the corpus of your argument reveals a number of sick folk. Quite simply, supply meets demand, regardless of the mechanism. True piracy is equated with a fix. Simple cause/effect analysis. Thanks Galu.
About 95% of new pop music is rubbish, just recycled junk.
I remember 60's and 70's where you liked most of what was in the charts.

Still one can find true pearls in that 5%. Costs time and effort. Much time and effort even.
It is a bit strange that many in this hobby don’t seem to care much about the material they play on their gear. It happened so often and it seemed so odd that reversal of attention seemed appropriate. Couldn’t get the analogy out of my head being busy to tune, polish and perfectly maintain a racecar only to use it for a weekly 300 meter drive to the supermarket 🙂
Imagine having the quality of todays stuff in the 60’s and 70’s!

I like that logo.
Fast forward to present just swap that out for the YT logo. Granted it has been improving through time as many are.
Haha are you suuuure? Those eras had fair share of ultra cheesy pop though. Like AC/DC before Bon rescued them. There are a bunch I duno about 80% of it...a close 75%?
Interesting
I bought a lot of albums in the 80's and 90's
never seen that before.
It is rather comical in todays world.
Reminds me of the Grateful Dead story. Where they encouraged people to record them and
distribute the tapes. Remembering that they were one of the highest grossing tour bands
for a long time. Giving away free music just expanded the availability and audience.
Which yielded very big ticket sales for concerts.

I thought it was the music videos of the 1980's that killed music, not that it succeeded but it was a huge shift in how we listened to music.
