 I believe this is called entrapment?

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.

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.
