I believe this is called entrapment?<br>

In Brazil, there are a number of artists going about it in
different way - working for a living! They sell their music for an
affordable price, that way people won't feel the need to get pirated
copies. It is after all greed and wanting to live in a Malibu mansion
with a fleet of imported cars at the age of 27 that puts prices beyond
the means of most. If artists would work for a living like everybody
else and wait to be able to afford their mansion after a lifetime of
hard work like everybody else, people wouldn't pirate so much.<br>

Also, today's youth do not have LP collections like most on this list
probably did and do. They live in a acquire-and-dispose culture. So, it
is a whole paradigm shift. Instead of selling music/ movies, the
industry should be looking at 'leasing'/ 'hiring' for a fraction of the
price - allowing to be played x number of times, after which it won't
play anymore.<br>
