Bono urges the protection of intellectual property argueing that file sharing doesn’t benefit creators and artists.

Interestingly enough, not a single album since 2004 has sold more than 20,000,000. The biggest selling CD’s this year will be from Taylor Swift and Susan Boyle both achieving 5,000,000+ sales. In the past, sales easily topped 10,000,000. I blame it on illegal downloading and less-than-stellar talent.

Regardless, making music is the same as making iPods. It’s time sensitive and costly. You cannot walk into a store and walkout with an iPod without paying for it.
