Okay, first and foremost, some of the math in that balance sheet doesn't add up. Why is the band paying of the studio costs out of their advance? Shouldn't the studio be paying the production costs? There's plenty more questions I have, like why the band never saw any royalties from the album sales, just the initial advance, their tour money and their t-shirt money.

Second, even if the recording industry is constantly screwing artists, and i'm not arguing that they're not, does that justify IP theft? Isn't that like arguing that it's okay to torch the house of a pedophile? I mean, after all, he's child molesting scum... sure it's against the law, but he deserved it.
