Is it because they don't like the quality of the media that's being ripped? Isn't that doing more damage to the fan who's downloading it, and providing an incentive for them to acquire the album in a higher quality later down the road?
Really, I'm curious to know what you think.

Really, I swear, after this I'm done, because I think I want to die.
The point is that it doesn't matter what any of US thinks. Let me reiterate, for the 876th time:
It's THEIR album.
It doesn't matter whether or not their intentions make sense; they don't have to. Who the hell are we to put into question the logic of their operations?
They can do whatever the hell they want, and since it's THEIR product to distribute, they can do so however they see fit, and we as consumers don't have to agree with it.
HOWEVER, as fans, we should RESPECT it.
Oh my god, I just had an embolism.
