Yes.  But what's the point of customer loyalty if noone is buying the 
product?

Might as well sell shoes at Wal*Mart instead of making your art and actually 
(imagine this) getting PAID for it.

Remember that "ripping" derives from "ripping off."  And generally, that's 
what happend when copies are made.

Too bad, really.

  Which just goes to show that all of the copy protection or digital rights
  managements schemes in the world can't stop copying.

  If you can make it come out of speakers you can copy it.

  When are record labels going to realize that selling products that do less
  than the consumer expects is not a way to grow customer loyalty?

  That is why supporting artists and labels that sell legal drm free 
downloads
  and non-drm ed CDs is important.
