    You don’t know me and you don’t know how many companies I boycott on moral grounds.

    You don’t know what direct action I take against companies I don’t agree with, nor the activism I do IRL to further causes I support.

    This is one thing in a large and growing list of causes.

    I’ll end the conversation here as there is nothing more to be gained.

    I do hope you have a great weekend though.

      There’s that self righteous indignation. Quit on something you care about because it touched something dirty… brilliant outlook.

      End the conversation friend & have a good show. That’s if you can find one that’s not tainted.

      You sure have shown the world your merit by turning your back on the Foo Fighters because, well, Amazon.

      Those evil evil Foo Fighters destroying your planet with all that Amazon money…

      You stand for your own sense of self morality & nothing else. Some fucking fan you turned out to be.

          Dave? No, just someone who’s willing to give a band I like the benefit of the doubt over penis shaped billionaire.

          Good luck changing the world by turning your back on the things that make you happy!

            Thanks dude.

            I appreciate you being supportive of me choosing to spend my time and money as I please, something I support of you too.

            FYI - I am very happy, I spent the day with family today, put a deposit on a new tattoo and treated myself to a lovely Seiko. I’m now listening to some Chopin and waiting for food.

                Nice. I’d love to get down to some National Trails.

                Huh… interesting revelation about Chopin, I was aware Wagner was pretty anti-Semitic.

                As for not listening to Chopin, I think I can be pretty sure that he isn’t making any money from me listening to him, the same as listening I my FF CDs. I thought I had been pretty clear on that for this entire thread that I would not be rewarding them with money or time on services that give them money.

                  You did make that clear. But you haven’t stated why, other than Amazon Money = Bad.

                  There aren’t enough good musicians getting paid what they should be on this planet. And most of the ones who are making shit tons of money in music, don’t deserve it.

                  You, at one point in time, thought the Foo Fighters deserved to be making big money in the music industry, otherwise you wouldn’t have listened to them.

                  So now that the Foo Fighters have made it big enough that Billionaires want private concerts from them, your response is to abandon them.

                  You still have no idea whether they needed the money or plan to do something positive with it, you just know they took it from Amazon and you don’t like it.

                  That’s some fair weather fandom right there.

                    The Foo Fighters have enough money that there kids kids won’t have to work again.

                    The why is because I don’t support Amazon and in turn people that do support Amazon.

                    I don’t agree that too many artists are making money that don’t deserve it. If people are buying there music, whether I think their music is vapid or not doesn’t matter. If you are a pop star and have millions of fans then they’ve earned it imo.

                    As a software developer I could earn double my current wage working for a gambling company, but I don’t support that and so I think any artist I support should have the same kind of morals.
