I happen to be a musician my self and to be honest I don't like the fact we can listen to music from the Dream theater for example without giving them the respect of buying their music. What do you think?

I've bought my favorite artists cd's (and others of the artists I truly respect) so i wouldn't have to tell him that

i think that downloading songs is not bad, so long as you support the artist in a different way......buy a t-shirt, or bumper sticker, or pin, or concert ticket or whatever......now, some artists may only have one or two good songs, in which case i don't feel bad for downloading b/c if they would put out better songs, i might have felt compelled to give them some of my money!
and there are some artists that i will download, and then later go out and BUY the cd, b/c with a cd you get liner notes and stuff that you don't get when you download, so if i were to meet the artist that i d/l i would tell them that is what i do!

I only download music from sites that I pay for. But I actually buy the whole CD if I hear clips of songs from the album and enjoy them

I wouldn't feel the need to tell my favorite artist that I download their music. I have all the CD's/albums they made anyway I wouldn't download.

No, because if they were actually my favorite, I would buy the albums. I like to support the bands I like, but hey, that's just me. Silly me, wanting to pay for the services that the artists have rendered.

No, because I don't download music. I always buy the CD's.

Yes, cause I'm not gonna buy a CD if I only like 2 songs on it.

i might caus all of their cd's are imports from japan so i would end up on buying a cd for over $30 (and thats not even counting shipping)

i can't download music because i don't have internet at my house. i get most of my music from a fellow metalhead. i tell him what i want, give him a cd, and he downloads it for me.
