Did you ever work in these companies?  I don't think that you have
otherwise, you wouldn't speak the way you do.  Don't make statements about
what you know nothing about.

It is not just simply copying a CD.  People can load samples into their
samplers, save them on hard drives and build CD's from that quite easily.
Copying the CD's just presents a (very) small hurdle.  Where there's a will,
there is a way.

I'm sure that when you write a number hit that *could* generate millions,
you won't mind that only one person (who is a professional) buys your CD,
then trades it and gives away copies to everyone else in the world since the
rest of the people are only hobbyists - ie they don't make money from
listening to your music so it is just a hobby to them.

Do you see how absurd this reason is?  No matter how you put it - you are
justifying theft.  That's like saying you can go into a car dealership and,
because your hobby is collecting cars, it is okay to simply take one of the
new Mercedes on the lot since you only do it as a hobby and don't make money
off of it.  Okay this is a little far-fetched, but it is similar.  If you
thought for a minute - that if everyone who uses samples bought them, maybe
we could get many titles for very little money.  As it is, in order to be
profitable or at least break even, the manufacturers have to keep the price
up.

If you do it as a hobby and cannot afford the great sample CD, then simply
don't spend the money.  Get creative and make your own samples.
