Musician argues copyright with teenage girl →

I don't think either one of them is 100% correct. I see her point of view that she can't buy music online (no credit card) and that her singing his stuff somewhat helps him.

From his perspective, he works hard to make something that has value, and people should have to pay for that value.

The real problem I see is that even online distribution with easy credit card payments does not mean universal access. The other problem (not just related to this) is people wanting stuff they can't afford. Anyone can pay $0.99 for a song, but not everyone has the dough for a 2,000 song library.
