I hate the current setup of the music industry. It is unfair to both artists and fans. The RIAA and the like need to do some serious reform!!!

I listen on the internet if a band is worth buying a cd of. And I know many others who do too. So I guess that bands which get downloaded wouldn't get money if these downloads weren't available. It only ups popularity, which makes it more likely they get gigs, and gigs and merchandise is the real financial support behind a band.

I usually download an album, listen to it, and if I like it, I buy the actual album. If I don't like it, then I delete the album and don't end up wasting my money. I guess you could call it a 'test-listen'.
I don't see any problem with doing this.

I download and buy, and I can see both sids of the coin, but due how the state of msuic ecliend so mcuh in a certain era I can see why downaloders do what they do nowdays I think it should be try befroe you buy, who wants to keep getting screweed by only a handful of good songs when you can take al the songs and brun them to a compilation CD
I tend to go now with if you really raelly liek it buy it, that's tyour stamp approval and telling the artsit 'hey keep it up!' |
