Illegal Music Downloading
Hmmm...how do I feel about this subject? Personally, no I don't do it, so I guess I'm against it. It is unfair to the artists and businesses such as iTunes, and if everyone did it (if it wasn't illegal) the artists and producers and composers and whatever wouldn't have a job. It would be like an underappreciation for them. How would they be able to do what they want if they didn't get any money for it? Sadly that's the case with a lot of aspirations people have, but this one has been going on forever! Just think about it though, if there was no income option for the people who make music happen, there would definitely be not as many bands = not as much music = horrible. I don't know about you all, but music is a HUGE part of my life (and I actually I know for a fact, that it is for you too) and I'm not sure how the world would react if it was taken away from us (I mean on like the scale it is in our society today...). I don't really care that other people do it though; it's your choice. So I think, the situation it's in today is good...there's some people that do it, and some people that don't...just enough to keep it going I guess. And I do admit, I do get a bunch of music from the library (haha I guess that is illegal music downloading...whoops, I guess I do do it sometimes...), but I mean I guess the library has to buy the CD so.......haha, alright, I'm not trying to cure my guilt (I really don't feel bad about it actually [library i mean]) but woa! off subject, i apologize. Basic opinion = i'm not really for the whole illegal music downloading scene (from the internet), but I think the state that it's in right now is fine. (but who knows about the future....) alright, hit me why u love illegal music downloading and why is should be legal....

here's an interesting fact!
"The music industry has said that while it has started making money from music downloading, more than 90 percent of downloaded music is illegal. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, or IFPI, said record companies' revenue from digital music sales rose 40 per cent to US$2.9 billion over the past year. This growth is not covering losses from collapse of international CD sales, the music industry's global trade body said."
