You downloaded music for "learning purposes" check the artist and then buy his album.
that is as honorable as putting the cd on your pants, enjoy it a few times and then throw it away.there you go..
Its like me going in to a 7/11 grab some 2 or 3 different sandwiches and then if I get cought I say "I just wanted to taste them before I buy them"
That exactly what I said about audio galaxy, I still buy the cd, (if I like it) the only mp3's I erase are the ones that I dont like.
But I also find music that you dont find on the stores. later on I read on the paper, that the swiiss guy that I discovered on audiogalaxy is coming to town, Im paying a ticket to check him out. thanks to what?
yeah... "illegal download"
dont get me wrong, I am against people downloading music and making mix cds and then making money out of it. But if that downloading music for free allows me to make a decision about buying a record.Im an artis myself, graphic and music, I also know lots of people that write music and mp3 had helped them to spread their talent out.
Yes that fact gets stronger when we are talking about underground, after all, what is undergound all about? musicians that had no contracts with huge record labels, making millions of dollars.
I cant believe your "underground hip hop artist friends" are against getting their name on the street.
Ususally is huge artist such as metallica, or madonna that are already known the ones that dont need the mp3 to get their music across.
