  I didn't see anyone list all of the answers. I stole (and credited) 1-3. I found #4 on Amazon.
  
  1.From Insaniac99: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120322/02414218194/musician-jonathan-coulton-i-value-internet-lot -more-than-record-industry.shtml#c484
  
  
  2.From Mason Wheeler:
  
  I suppose earlier generations had to sit through all this huffing and puffing with the invention of television, the phone, cinema, radio, the car, the bicycle, printing, the wheel and so on, but you would think we would learn the way these things work, which is this:
  
  1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal;
  
  2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it;
  
  3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really.
  
  Apply this list to movies, rock music, word processors and mobile phones to work out how old you are.

  on EMI Exec Thinks You Shouldn't Be Able To Listen To Your Own Music Without Paying Again
  "What measures do you propose be put in place to prevent the uploading of major label owned content?"
  
  The last time I checked, once money changes hands, the content on that disc is mine. If it's still theirs, why do I bother paying for it at all?
