I agree 100%. I actually don't buy and download songs nearly as much as I used to. I can jump online (KZitem is a favorite) and listen to the "lyrics" version of a song for free, as many times as I want. I know the person who shared it isn't monetized, but neither is the artist. I'm contributing to the problem and it's a shame, but here we are...

If you play an instrument or use software to compose a song that doesn't necessarily make you a songwriter or a good songwriter. When I was younger and in college and didn't have a car It was difficult for me to get to Minneapolis from St. Paul to see a lot of great bands at First Avenue, The 7th Street Entry, The Longhorn and so on so I had to settle on going to venues within walking distance of where I lived. That meant almost 100% cover bands. I got to know a few of these musicians from the bands and when they found out I wrote songs they asked to me write a couple for them because they had trouble with that. Some of them did write songs and I don't mean to sound like a dick but it was better that they didn't. They were basically copying a cover they played. I think they played covers because they we better at reproducing music than creating it and that's ok. Not everyone can actually write. Yeah, you can construct a song but there is huge difference between that and actually creating something that stands out.
