Default Downloading Music Good or Bad?

Is it right to download music from Limewire, Soulseek, etc . . . ? Or is it just a way of 'sharing' your music with other people. Because this 'sharing' means you aren't buying records, which means artists as well as music stores are suffering. On the other hand, you save tons of $ by downloading and you don't have to buy a CD for only 1 or 2 songs you like on it. Which side of the argument would you fall under?

This one of the biggest things for me, i'm not fond of ordering CDs and half the time I can't find it. So I download it, or im broke as hell.

yea i dont' have a lot of money, and the way i look at it is.. where i don't have much money and i NEED other then other then music, i can't very well go to the store and steal food and clothes and i never will but i can get away with taking music right from the interent on my very own computer. its a simple guit way of taking things for free without worrying if i'll have enough money to shop for my next meal.
