So your argument is that downloading music should be legalized because you don't like a couple of people that are against it? Not everyone in the music industry are making a sh*t-ton of money. Most touring musicians are going into debt to release an album, even on a label, and it takes about 10,000 album sales (a number that most bands on small labels would be lucky to make over the course of a couple years) just to break even. Now the argument can be made that relatively little of them money that people pay for an album actually goes to the band, but the fact is this: without the labels, it would be MUCH harder for a band to release their music. By supporting a label, you support all the bands under that label. Another argument for free music is the fact that the band's music reaches a much larger audience. With very underground bands, it's nearly impossible to get their stuff in any way other than downloading it. This is very true, and is probably the greatest benefit of the internet age for musicians. At the same time, though, none of those new fans make any difference to them if they don't go o a show, and buy the band's T-shirts, etc. So, at the end of the day, the choice is up to you, and there are arguments for both sides, but I will say that I'd rather have my favorite band be full-time musicians, than have to work a side job when they could be touring, writing, practicing, and recording new music.
