anti-piracy campaign

IP:

Pharrell Williams, Mandy Moore, Jason Mraz, Missy Elliott and P. Diddy are all taking part in an anti-piracy media campaign created by the Sony Music Creative Services department. The goal of the program is to encourage music fans to download music though legitimate channels such as iTunes.com and Napster.com. The slogan of the campaign is "I download ... legally." Other artists who have pledged their support include 3 Doors Down, Sheryl Crow, Lenny Kravitz, LL Cool J and Aaron Lewis of Staind. The first advertisements will appear in Billboard magazine. ...

ya think this campaign will have any success????

Face it - no one who can download music or anyone who knows someone who can download music is going to pay. CD's are expensive as fuck these days as it is ..

If cds would be 10-13$ I have no problem paying for it. I will not waste my money on flops though, so thats why I download songs. For the dope ones, other than that, I still pay for my music. Buying bootlegs and mixtapes counts right?
