Burn CD or support music artist??

I support my favorite artists (which is like 1 or 2 people) I like the feeling of having their CD in my hands. Why? No idea.. But other than that I'll just download songs. Most money nowadays is made by touring, So I'd rather support most artists by going to their concert. Atleast I'd be getting something worth while out of it.

i would like to say that i do the right thing and support musicians, but i don't really buy cds anymore. i just download. i know that technically, it's wrong. but it's a lot cheaper and you basically get the same stuff. i remember when i was younger i always thought that if i ever became a musician, i would let people just get my music for free. i thought that if i were a true musician, and an artist, my main objective would be for people to listen to my music. it should not be money. but now i know that musicians also need money and of course, being human, would love to have lots of it. i'm not saying that they are being selfish. i know that they work hard for their music, but not people can afford to buy music. at the end of the day, these people who download (me included), they just love music. and in that way, they still do support the artist by listening to his or her music.

I prefer download music and burn CD. But the motive is: I LIVE IN BRAZIL!!!!!!! Here one Original CD costs about 1/5 of our Minimum Wage. And we pay lots of imposts. So we aren't supporting our artist buying CDs, we are supporting our corrupt government.

It depends what kind of artist it is, but most of my songs i go out and buy just because i dont feel like i have the songs unless i have the physical copies of them. I feel pride in having the songs. Although if its a band where i like just a few songs thne i will get themfro my mates.

I usually end up buying what I like, since that isn't very often, I usually end up listening to the song on YouTube.

it really depends on the price of the discs because it1s not everyone that can afford a high price disc.

It all really depends on the artist. If its like one of my more favored bands, then i will buy the CD. If its like one of my less favored but still decent bands, then ill either get it from a friend, or file share website.

It all depends if I like the artist or not. If I really like the band, I would certainly buy the original. I would also buy if they have their greatest hits in one cd. In Taiwan, they always have the activity of cd signing whenever an artist has a new album. I think that's one way of making people prevent from buying pirated cds. But if you have too many favorites I guess it would mean you have to save enough to be able to buy all them.
