You are wrong here. ISPs are just what they say they are. They provide access to the internet. What that end user does with that internet is their problem. Do you blame ISPs for hackers or child porn freaks? I mean those are on the internet too?
Maybe I am old school when it comes to music but if a band is worth it I will buy their CD and if I have the money and time I will go see them perform live. I actually put a lot of blame on the record labels for the continuation of piracy. They keep prices high for their own greed for digital music that is of lesser quality than what is on the CD and still charge $1.00 $1.30 per song. On top of that they lace the song with DRM so you are limited to how you can play it. That is why I stay old school and will buy the CDs of the bands like so I can rip them to digital format and play them how I want. Bono and most other popular music Artists are multi-millionaires so the lesson here should be to make good music, put on good concerts, don't be jerks and become popular and you will make money.
