ive always downloaded music from limewire to see if i like it. but when it comes down to it i dont think its fair because alot of the stuff i download comes from artists who arent stinking rich. i dont mind downloading music from snoop dogg or somoene huge tho. they dont need the money

They still get a shit load of money for playing concerts and lots of other people buy their CD's, but if you want to buy their CD if you like their songs then by all means go for it.

I download all of my music but I'm cheap. I go to concerts when I can, artists make way more from concert ticket sales than from album sales, where a lot of the money has to change hands before they get their meager royalties.

I pay covercharges to get into the clubs I like. I download music I like for free. The money I save by downloading the albums affords me my MDMA and LSD, and I've still got some left over for the covercharge. With the wealth of music I get off the internet and copied for me by friends who've actually bought albums, it's like I live the party lifestyle for free!

Haha, interesting perspective, but I think that if you didn't download music, you would have the same amount of money and just less music.

Or not.

No it's not, those fucks make enough money. Well not starting bands, but i'm mainly talking about those bling bling rappers, pop tards and settled rockbands

and hey the way i see it, if your downloading their music they must be cool??? and they must be liked??? so they should just be happy that we the people even like them

^That's such a conceited viewpoint, as if our opinions were of some importance. People that make music put a lot into it, they need money too. If it weren't for the fact that most musicians make more than their fair share of money I'd go so far to call you a complete douchebag, but they're all rich motherfuckers anyway.

I dload the album, if its good and im a fan, i buy the album and every album they make. I love encouraging young bands and REAL artists.
All "artists" were doing was making ONE good song out of 18. But now that dloading has lowered their sales, it forces them to develop a more complete and sound album.

i dont see that as being conceited at all... you realize musicians are nothing without an audiance?

I guess I see it this way, most people that go to concerts either have the bands CD's or downloaded them, but if no one would download them then they might not get to listen to the band or like them if they never really listen to them.
