Re: music
In music, you are denying musicians of royalties. Where up and coming musicians are concerned, yeah, it get's them heard but they should decide what they give away for free. If they want to give every song the ever record away, fine. Unless you're Eminem, music is not a very lucrative business. it might make you well off for a bit.
And don't anyone tell me you wouldn't buy the music otherwise so they should be grateful that you downloaded it to listen to... WTF? If you want to listen to music you buy it. Music you don't want to listen to, you don't download. What if the other tracks on the album aren't as good? Remember those days you'd actually sit there and listen to an album? Not just yer own playlist?
The only defense for downloading music is that you can't be bothered to pay. If it was for the artists at all, you would respect their wishes where the distribution of their music was concerned. If they wanted to distribute if for free over the web, they can do that themselves.
and if people do download stuff, it's their choice. As long as they don't try and justify it to me morally. It's cos it's free.
Sorry, pet rant...
