for those who don't feel like stealing.



CD = 15 or so songs = 15 or so bucks at a record store.


you can download an entire cd for 10.

As if musicians aren't already overpaided enough and major labels don't already have enough money.

It's not being good and not stealing, it's burning money and being a fool.

No I disagree although I do DL a lot of MP3s I think if an artist produces an album that is worthy of buying then support them by purchasing the album.

I always DL first and buy it if I like the majority of the album....if it sucks I delete the ones I don't like and keep the rest on my playlist.

It does cut into their money and it is their money that is due to them.

again, some people have better morals then that. The issue isn't about artists being overpaid. Basketball players are overpaid. Who cares. Some people choose not to steal what they consume.

They make enough as it is, even if they made half of what they do now it would still be more than fair.

i like the fact that DMB supports free downloading. i remember when the whole napster thing was going down, they were supporting it, and when their album came out it hit #1

I wouldn't mind paying 99 cents a download, but while i can, i'll do it for free

THE ISSUE ISNT ABOUT HOW MUCH THE ARTISTS MAKE!!!!


If you made 5 million dollars a year, does that mean you'd allow people take 10-15 bucks from your bank account whenever they wanted?

Wow I agree with RB

If you made 5 mil a year and suddenly because of some technology you saw your income drop to 2 mil a year how would you feel?
