You'll burn in Hell before too long (and you'll deserve it!)
Go and Buy the CD (Go out and buy it!)
Like you know that you should (You cheap bastard!)"
I love this song.
Go Al!
Firstly, artists didn't make much off of CD sales with rare exception, and less off of streaming. The chief people 'losing money' were the music companies, and TBH, given how they fleece customers and screw over artists and have done so since there's been a music industry, they can get stuffed.
Al was aware of this, and this song is basically a big middle finger at the exploitative nature of the industry he worked in.
Second, there was a big ad campaign against downloading that directly referred to internet piracy as if it was analogous to serious crime (It's tagline was 'You wouldn't download a car'). Weird Al's poking fun at that too.
The "music industry" was not done, notice that the record labels and radio stations survived just fine. The record stores, however, were done-zo, and the labels didn't care at all about them, they only cared about the theoretical lost sales of CDs and tapes (and I say "theoretical" because their claimed losses dwarf US GDP). The only reason any record stores still exist is because of the recent vinyl boom.
In any case, the music industry at large tends to settle on existing technology and passively make money off the backs of artists. This is an industry that does not innovate and should have died when cassette tapes started "threatening" radio.
