it shouldn't be legal. Becuase people have jobs making cds and if they don't seel em, theres problems.
Although...what am I to say, I download music anyway =D and nomatter what we do, there are gonna be ways to steel it so we might as well compromise |

i have seen a banner similiar to that stating "if you ride alone, you ride with hitler." hahaha! well, it should be the bands desicion on wether they should hand out their music. (i mean do they hand out free cds at concerts?) it's stealing music someone worked hard for. just like stealing a book or someones blog.

There is nothing wrong with downloading music... I mean if it is such a problum noone should have invented it in the 1st place. Also Its not like the people that make the music don't get paid enough already.

heres an idea.
a band usually lets out three singles off of a newly released CD over the span of a year, right? so what i do is download 3 songs from the band per CD. "it's a necescesary evil" ~howard jones of killswitch engage. the first few slipknot songs i've heard were downloaded for me. i went and bought all of their CDs.so, in my case, it helps the record industry. |

There's a difference between downloading a few songs to see if you like a band and downloading all of their albums and burning them for everyone you know.

downloading free music isn't a problem. it's when you pirate otherwise copyrighted music. i don't see how you can say you support your favorite band when you don't buy their cd because you "d0wNl0aD Fr0m KaZaA Y0!"

I'll take the "legal" side.
Well, someone has to buy their CD, because how did it get into P2P in the first place? And people are still buying CDs. Just in case you didn't notice, theres still a good few million dollars in album sales-per album. I'm sure the singers can do with that much. |

Man I used to download songs like hella, but once I learned that it was illegal, I stopped, but some people say that it is legal. Now I'm not sure whether I can or cannot. Free music downloading is beneficial in many ways. I used to download a whole CD of a band even, just because I heard one song that I really thought was good. However, not all of the songs were as good as the one I listened to. Heck, there were only 2 songs I liked! I could've wasted my money buying a crappy CD with only 2 songs I liked in it, whereas I could just download songs and delete any if they sound bad. Downloading music is beneficial, but it can offend the ones who made the music possible and want money.

sharing music through kazaa or morpheus isn't piracy because 1.) it's like sharing CDs with ur friends, which is not illegal, and 2.) No one is making money out of it.
If the recording companies want people to buy their cds then they should lower their prices. 15 bucks for a CD with just a few likable songs is ridiculous. |
