I'm not sure what you're arguing against here. Is it a problem that he spent thousands on music? In the last 7 years I've spend circa $6,000 on one service alone (emusic). I used to spend $500+ per month on vinyl. Hell, I even steal it sometimes too.
I know that the money doesn't all go to the artists - what would you have me (or the GP) do instead, not pay for any of it?
