The best argument I ever heard in favor of Napster was that songs were already being given out for free all the time on the radio. What's the difference if they're being given out for free online?

I was made aware of the fact that touring and merch is the bulk of how bands make money by the documentary The Other F Word. It followed around a bunch of aging punk rockers from Rancid and Goldfinger and other bands.
