You can continue fighting it, but the only thing you are going to achieve is to waste your time completely. You can shut down one online resource that provides music illegally, but tomorrow twenty new ones will appear there.

Whether you like it or not, if people don't want to pay for your music, they will go online, find and download it for free. And the paradigm shift has not completed yet. The music industry has changed a lot over the last two decades. We don't let people download audio files unless you give us explicit permissions for that, or your music is released under a license that permits digital distribution (e.g., Creative Commons).
