Monks used to spend years locked in cells illuminating manuscripts

Then printing came along and turned out the same product more cheaply.

The church complained (not the monks) and wanted to tax the presses

Mainly due to the availability of books more people learned to read and write

The printers (not the typesetters) complained and wanted to tax quills

Now we have a similar step change in the music industry and the executives (not the musicians) want to tax blank media, the internet, computers and air

It's called progress, you change or you die

And for the record I don't download music, tv or films I have this other thing I do it's called a life
