Because the RIAA (recording industry of america association) is a tired business model that sells over priced products that are usually produced with considerably less talent than even a few years ago. Listen to the radio lately? Most modern pop is pure nonsense. These factors and many more are the reason why piracy is so rampant and personally I feel that it should continue to be rampant until there is a market equilibrium between the recording industry and the costumers. Also, the RIAA pays most artists horribly and take most of the profits and royalties.

I think if the music industry truly wanted to overcome piracy they would make plans at 1 cent a song or something ridiculously low like that to curb the people from not wanting to pay ridiculous prices (99 cents per song... cough Itunes cough) and resulting to piracy.
