Does Anyone Take Music Piracy Serious?

It seems as if everyone has a mp3 player these days, where they download their favorite music and listen on the go, but does anyone actually pay for their music? I think we all are aware that a lot people don't purchase their music. And these same people don't really consider it a crime because the odds of getting "caught" are slim to none, and because the number of people who commit piracy is so large that it's difficult to monitor. Sure we have heard of the extreme cases where teens have been caught, like the creator of Napster who was sued by Metallica, and had to pay several fines. However music is illegally downloaded more and more making it difficult for recording artists to sell albums and become a sucess at thier record labels. I think most young people who download illegally don't even think twice about the consequences since this problem is very hard to control. I also think a lot of people are even unware that their downloading methods are illegal. Most people just see it as an easy and free way to get the new singles and albums that they want. However this issue often makes me wonder, will there ever come a time when this problem will be strictly monitored, and millions of people get in to trouble or will the problem persist causing the the music industry to become a graveyard?
