In fact... I am horrified someone in the music store business can be this blind or naive. How do you feel when someone steals a guitar from your store..?

Hold on a minute! I thought we humans like to share? We don't like stingy people, and that includes music store owners who want to get PAID when you walk out the store with a guitar!

Now, imagine that when you DO sell a guitar, the guy that bought it can put it in a magic 'duplicator', and make TWO guitars, and he gives one of them away. Probably to someone that, without the gift from his friend, would have come to your store and BOUGHT a guitar. And lo and behold, HE puts his copy in his duplicator, whips out three or four copies, and gives them to some MORE friends. And so on, ad infinitum.

You sure as sh*t won't be in business long, will you?

But hey! Who want to be stingy? What's making a living, compared to that..?
