Are you an illegal downloader?

Hey there apples99 My thoughts exactly. Sometimes I only like a few tracks of an album and like I said the rest can be rubbish and therefore why should the artist gain from producing such tosh? I don't mind paying money if I am going to get a great album to listen to and www.play.com offer great prices on all their products. Thank you for your response

haha. i think you are right! we do not have the necesarry the buy the album if we just like some of the songs.

Hey there sanokser Well in Britain they are making a really big deal about it all and threatening to cut users off from the internet if they don't stop. The thing is that artists sure as heck don't make their money from music sales on their own now do they? Thank you for your response my fellow illegal downloader!

Hi,humbug25 i dont download illegally i usually just buy things like music and movies but i think that they should change the laws to fit the Internet age i understand the copy right laws, but its not like those artist or actors are gonna go hungry if people download a few free songs or movies, just look at how most entainers live, i think they should make a program for the net where people can legally download music and movies free they should make it so the program and company pays the artist while allowing the people using the program to download for free, and i think that the music and movie industry needs to find a better way to work with the internet and i think if they make a totally free and legal downloading program that is paid for through sponsors and the the downloading company pays its artist a percentage of its revenue then that would be grate for both consumers and the entertainment industry, i do respect the artist becuse my parents are music artist to, but i do think that the industry should lighten up a little, and not penalize good people so harshly for loving music because if you think of it this way listening to the radio is free so why shouldn't downloading be free to as long as the artist still gets paid.

Hi there shana123 Well they say that you learn something new everyday and I guess you have!! It's just a bit of a worry for us Brits at the moment when they are threatening to cut off our internet supply!! Thank you for your response!

Hi ya LadyMarissa Yes I did say for free, I am a cheapskate!! . I am a single mum with 3 kids so I do have my reasons! Thank you for taking the time to give me the information though! Thanks for responding

OOPs, I just noticed you said for free.

Hey there skenthal I think anything goes in Turkey more or less doesn't it? Thank you for responding!

Hi there dowie27 Oooops nevermind for responding twice though I am curious to know how you managed it!! I totally agree with you. I once bought an album because I loved two of the tracks that were on it and was so so disappointed with the rest of the album I wished I had never bought but they have my money now!! Now I never buy an album unless I have downloaded it and heard it first! Thanks for both of your responses!!

I just posted twice! lol

Hi smartbrain69 So do you buy all your music then? Thanks for responding

Hey there dangaroo (love your name by the way!!) You are totally right. I do like to buy cd's though. I have a friend who downloads albums and movies all the time then prints off the covers. He must be spening a small fortune on ink and I think the quality of a home printer is as good either, I am a bit of a perfectionist with things like that. I am sure that it would be cheaper for him to buy the album at the end of the day rather spend so much money on the ink! Thank you for responding

Hi there vimaal I am glad you enjoy listening to music and watching your favourite actors!

hi there reckon21 Even if the money is going into the wrong hands? Thanks for responding!

Hi there kane1980 Yes I do think that users have been forced to share files because of pricing and that is why we are in the situation we are now about it all. Thank you for responding!

Hi dowie27 Thanks again for responding!!

Hi there neothegod I didn't know that the percentage of users downloading was that high! They are trying to make a big deal about it here in the UK and tell us that it is the artists that are suffering and are threatening to cut people of the internet but I don't think the internet providers are happy to do that just yet and are sending out letters of warning at the moment. Thank you for responding

Hi there luckycui I guess it is no different to lending your friend a cd or something and they download it onto their compute, it's just that you are giving it to someone who is somewhere in the world and you don't actually know them! Thanks for your response!

Hey there p1kef1sh You're showing your age there!! I think that artists make more money these days from interviews, tv appearances and air time. I think that if they had to rely on record sales (ok I'm showing my age now!) they would all be surviving on baked beans on toast! Cheers for your response!

Hi Abby123 I can honestly say that I am not a big fan of tube maybe because I haven't used it enough to really figure it out and feel that it takes a lot of surfing to find what I am really looking for. I find it easier to go to the website type in what I want and download it then listen to it while playing in mylot. Still if they banned it for everyone and it no longer existed to download it then like you I say, so be it! Thank you for responding!

Hi ya valeria1 I too listen to the radio a lot and hear the same tunes over and over again but sometimes I like to listen to them in the car on long journeys and like to listen to what I want when I want. I listen to music through my pc at nightime when I am on mylot as I don't like what is on the radio during that time. Artists sure make their money when they do concerts not only from ticket sales but from the expensive merchandise sold there so they are by no means poor! Thank you for your response!

Well i agree with that also, but it's not musicians fault, it's their record companies and agencies wich made huge profit with them.

Sure it's not the musicians fault, maybe they should get their heads together!!

Hi paul_0000 That is fair enough but it would be nice of them to reduce the prices to make them more affordable eh? Thank you for responding!

Hi ya Azedbutt I too used to feel bad about it but like I have said the artists certainly do make their money elsewhere and if money was no object to me I wouldn't hesitate to purchase albums! Thank you for responding!

Hi there night71 Wow that seems really weird to me that uploading should be illegal I guess there is some logic in that somewhere. Thanks for your response!
