I believe that only TRUE quality deserves anything in return, but how do you measure it?
That we have yet to figure.
For example, when you get a TV and it's broken, a replacement is guaranteed.
But how do you do that... I mean... "test" music for faults?

Fortunately, you have the option to NEVER pay a dine for the music you don't like.

Yeah, that's MP3, but whether or not an individual actually supports those he likes is another question.
You just have to keep in mind there are markets of stolen TVs out there too...

Um, probably with a game company.

Started composing in 2006.
Started learning piano around 2008.
Started drumming in 2009.

A laptop equipped with Propellerhead Reason, dual 200W locally produced 3 way 16 year old speakers with an amp.

That's pretty much it.
