Downloading Music

What do you think about free downloading of music? Is it wrong? Or is there no issue with it? Discuss.

Eh I know it's wrong but most of the time I don't have money so I do it anyways <_< >_>

It's reall convienient. So it's hard to not do it...

Yeah I agree its so hard not to do it because its so easy.

it's just too easy... and it doesn't FEEL illegal, even if it is... because everyone does it. and even if that's no excuse... it's true.

yeah I agree it is just to easy and it doesn't feel wrong.

apparently you agree with everyone on this topic.

Yep I agree lol Just a guy that can get along with anyone pretty much lol. Does this bother you?

Nope. just observing.

Ok Thats a good thing lol.

yeai agree, easily accessible, wrong, but irresistible

Yeah it's pretty easy access especially if you only like one song by a certin band and you don't feel like buying an entire album just to get it (Or spending a dollar on it on Itunes but sometimes Itunes doesn't have certin songs)

yea, i hate it when itunes doesn't have the song i want.....it is so irritating.

Yes it is.

We should complain or start a riot "let's start a riot, a riot"

The majority of music that I download is from iTunes. The other is Mercedes Benz.

You download music from your car?

I don't remember how it was that I learned about Mercedes Benz.com. About every three months they allow me to download 16 free songs of various genre.

that sounds pretty cool.

only 1 thing i can say about illegaly downloading music


LIMEWIRE IS THE BEST THING EVER

Well I found something that I like better Frostwire lol, there the same thing just different name and different color.

That's a touchy subject...i suppose one or two songs on Limewire (or any P2P) is fine, but we all know that is never the case. the fact is that the Government doesn't do anything about it. without a reason not to do it other than morality we can all go overboard. i have not purchased a CD in YEARS, but my music collection is massive. I don't download full albums as much anymore (although i couldnt help it, sorry to Neaera and Dethklok!). i end up getting a lot of music through Limewire or friends. To tell you the truth i'm surprised there is still an industry at all, and that bands still put out after we steal time and time again. It's not ok, but it's the way our society is! in order for a complete and utter change we would need to completely change the way society handles everything. The only problem being a metalhead is that half of the things i listen to can't be found in stores. Even if they were, buying music is just a setback. you can get music free and faster without any punishment. Everyone does it and it's considered normal. you can't tell me that you think "oh, i don't know if i should do this...it's so bad!". all you do is point and click. that's what everyone does.

i just had an epiphany. Imagine if artists were payed from the government...that our taxes would permit the free sharing of music. that way all artists are payed and we are all free to music. Think of it, music is food for the SOUL, it should be free and shared. this is the best way to do i. Music is therepy. you listen to music when you sad or upset, angry, happy, in love, or any emotion IMAGINABLE. If music was all free like that, it would just be more...peaceful i think. Bands aren't being supported, but they ALWAYS help us out. we're all accustomed to freely taking music anyway, we might as well make it worth the band's while. If i sound loopy or like a communist let me know. it's a nice thought, but chances of it happening are slim.

i'm very sorry for the length, but i'm very opinionated about this. If you made it this far, thank you for reading.

The only reason I download is because a lot of the music I listen to can't be found in stores anywhere around here, and ordering online is inconvenient for me.

I DL music only a little bit since I run on Dial-Up.

It's wrong, but the record companies don't make certain albums available in Hong Kong in record stores for me, and they don't make them available on iTunes either in other countries that I can legally download from... so it's their own fault.

If they'd release the stuff I want so I could actually buy it, things would be different.

Canada is awesome with their iPod tax and legal-illegal-downloads.
