What's your opinion on downloading music?

This is becoming such a big debate. Are you for or against being able to download music?

I think that we should be able to download free music... it's not like the artist needs any more money. It is technically stealing, but oh well

...fucking finally...they finally allowed line breaks to be used! Also, my previous statement only applies to signed bands. Unsigned bands rely on CD and merch sales to pay for their recording time, cd production, merchandise costs, etc...if they don't sell stuff, there's a good chance they won't be able to afford to release another album...not unless one of em's got rich parents willing to pitch in some cash.

No, not entirely like you said...if they wanna stay around for more years, then yes, the sales are needed, but what you said was "you have to remember bands make a living from the music we buy. and they have exspectations on how they live... to live up to. if we dont buy cds they dont make as much money and they cant afford to pay their stupid managers and tours and shit..."

That's not entirely true...the bands don't receive their paychecks from cd sales. So they don't make a living from what we're buying. They're making a living from what the label is paying them. Of course, if we don't buy cd's, their label will probably drop them. They will not, however, have any problem paying for their "stupid managers and tours and shit"...the label pays for that, not them. So yes, for the most part you're right...but it works a little differently than you described it.

but see by buying the cd for a garage band you are supporting them to become bigger and more well known... into the big shots you hate and wont support...

they still bring home a hefty chunk of change unless theyre a garage band trying to get known or a local band then id support the sales of their cd's but if it is a big band then theyre not worthing paying $14 for a cd with 11 tracks and a music video on it

as mr technical described in a previous message... they really dont get paid millions and millions unless they're really popular and mainstream

i think its fair cause they dont deserve to make a million dollars a month, they should be more like the average household and bring home no more than 100,000 a year
