Who still pays for downloading music?! New music hits the Internet within milliseconds, and file sharing websites within seconds! Is it really "stealing" if we're all technically "sharing"? Honestly, I feel like these artists make enough money so when I sit here and think about all the money that these artists make outside of music; I don't really feel as bad. I mean just because I don't mean anyone else isn't; I'm not swaying masses over here either so the $4 that I didn't spend on the 4 songs I liked of 12 on an entire album won't hurt these guys that much. Some might argue that this may be a deep ethical issue because these guys are artists and should be compensated for their work and blah, blah, blah but ummm yeah I don't really care too much and will exhibit blank stares & daydream if someone tries to argue their point.
**This is strictly for entertainment purposes only. In no way is it an admission of music piracy; these musicians are artists and should be (input all the stuff I'm supposed to say to convince you that I don't download music for free because it's completely immoral)...
Jail time is up to 5 years with fines of 250,000.. Adios mios
I argued with you, but there's a class I'm taking that really breaks down how much these artist make and when you look at it when people download and share, its stealing from them. Just saying. :)
