| ps3-sales! said: Honestly. Why do you buy music when you can download all the music you could ever listen to in your life, for free. I've never understood this. You say it's morally wrong. Well, if I have to be morally wrong and have money for food and other essentials then that's fine. You say it doesn't support the artists. You mean the artists that already have millions??? It's one thing to support an indie artist getting up on their feet, but if you want to listen to say, Lada Gaga. Why buy it? She has plenty of money, and most citizens do not. What are your thoughts on downloading music for free. Do you think it's wrong? If so, do you do it anyway? My main thought: I download all my music for free with some exceptions. If I really respect a certain artist I will hand them my money. Some recent examples are the Journey and Unfinished Swan Soundtracks that I purchased through Itunes. Amazing stuff. |
well, it's the responsible thing to do. Even if I wasn't a songwriter, I still wouldn't download illegally. It's the same reason that people who feel strongly about protecting the environment for future generations do it, because it's the responsible thing to do, not necessarily the easiest thing to do. They won't be alive to see the future generations but it's still the responsible thing to do.
Also, very very very few artists make tons of money like Lady Gaga, etc. As a songwriter/producer who follows the industry, I tell you now, artists who make lots of money like Lady Gaga are less than 0.01% of all the artists out there.....
