If everyone did it that way...I don't think there would problem. Hardly anyone does it that way, so there is a problem.

If I was an artist, this is how I would want my fans to buy my stuff...here it first and then purchase it IF they liked it. You can get samples of songs at a few stores like FYE. (However, a sample isn't good enough, I would like to listen to a whole song first...)

I don't see anything wrong with it.It is stealing and if the person gets caught well that person will know better.I would not do it myself but that is me.jm smile

It's factually equal to robbing from a store, and anyone who says differently just because it's significantly less possible to get caught, is dumb.

The adage of "I can't afford music/movies/anything copyrighted." is bs also.

The easier it is made to legally own things, the more people try to weasel. If only I had the power I'd slap some kind of legal penalty on every one of them.

Downloading Songs is mainstream and a part of life and it's socially accepted.

Of course I refuse to download any of my Utada Hikaru's music. Anyone who does any different should be shot. (Just joking.......but not really)

I own all of her Albums.

Bliss.

That's one cool thing about underground music. Bands tend to make their shit downloadable, and they're happy that someone is actually listening to it, and passing it around. So in that type of situation, yes, I'd download it.

However, when it comes to mainstream, why bother?

I download a lot of stuff. I know it's stealing, but I don't really care. Though I will buy CDs for my favourite bands and I'll also buy my favourite films.

I'd rob a shop if I could get away with, I'd rob a bank and I do download.

Nah.

It's a victimless crime, like punching someone in the dark.
