I admit to liking a lot of older retro music, and the thing that annoys me the most is that record companies have the rights to alot of older songs, but wont release them for people to buy. So if I cant buy it, I download it using numerous programs. Theoretically I am breaking copyright laws, but if the record companies wont or cant make it available , downloading it is the only way to find these songs. If it is a new artist and I like them, I buy the CD. What do you think ?

I think its alright...since these are older songs..and most of the artist ended up getting ripped off by the record companies anyway...I don't see it as doing much harm...even if the companies released these recordings tomorrow the poor artist or their families would not profit from them..........

actual I used to journey somewhat in fee, extra suitable by fact i presumed i might get caught in college. no remember if track calls so i'm very virtually a consultant at downloading track (no longer from Limewire, Bearshare and so on.) i think of of it fairly is a controversy of procedures you're downloading and how you journey approximately assisting the artist. Like i'm getting carry of track yet i comprehend if i in my opinion like the track i visit purchase the CD, attend stay overall performance activities, and so on.

I would not care to pay if they didn't overprice it. A regular CD's price range between US$ 20.00 to US$ 30.00, and its very rarely of us to like 100% of the songs in it. If they offer a fair price, people would not feel so compelling to download it.

I just look the other way if I'm downloading some I shouldn't be.
