Does anyone else HATE music piracy? I think that if someone wants a cd they should buy it as to support the time and effort these singers/bands have put towards writing and performing these songs. (also dont bother mentioning that some singers dont write their own music, someone has to write it and whether it is the performer or not, the writer will get some part of the profits)

I feel that of you want to listen to an album, you should support the performer.

What do other people think about the topic?

small little know independent artists - albums should be purchased
big international stars - couldn't give a crap
basically what i do is download their songs or some at least, see if i like it - if i like it i'll buy it

It's more about the effort to get the album/single than actually paying the money. I can download a song in less than 5 minutes. To buy it I would have to drive 25 minutes, buy it, then drive another 25 minutes home.

i agree that u should buy the music u like. But one thing that pisses me off are how music companies are putting copy control technology on cds. Personally i like to rip my cds onto the computer for convenience.

Music shouldn't be about making money it should be about enjoyment. And they still make a shitload anyway so I don't see the problem.
