I'm sure everyone who paid for the midnight download will take this as a kick to the face, if they didn't already take the torrenting of it as one.
I'm sure most reasonable people wouldn't care. If you want any music for free, thats a nobrainer. If you want to pay for music, you make that choice to support the artist. So, if people payed for a midnight download, they did it because they wanted to support the artist.
Yeah, that argument is pretty damn biased, not all people know how to pirate music or want to do it at all.
