sorry, if this is not interesting for you, but i want to discuss the problem of free music in the internet.

there are many sites where you can
download music.
You don't have to pay for it because you can find free music downloads.
there is a kind of war between singers that don't like free online music
and people that doesn't want to pay and looks for free mp3 music download

i think that music must be almost free because lot's of people just can't afford buing music and they try to dowload music for free.

may be not every music download must be free
i can't imagine one who looks for free piano music. if it is really qualitive it may cost money...

but if you download pop music you should not pay

so what is your opinion on this subject?
do you download online music

i used so many links just to check BB-code... actually i've neevr used it before...
there is nothing interesting there. don't click.

I'd love to own an Aston Martin, but I can't afford one. Should I steal one?

Yeah I love downloading music and software and ebooks. It's not stealing since it's digital information. It's SHARING. Just like when you go to a library and BORROW some books. The SUGGESTION THAT SHARING IS STEALING IS LAME. So go out and share today!

Stealing an Aston Martin deprives its rightful owner of its use and is therefore harmful to him. Copying software (music stream) does not damage the original. There's a big difference.

That being said, however, there is another kind of harm associated with copyright infringement. It can deprive an artist or author of income he has a right to expect.

All I have to say is that my brother is a Sony recording artist, and the bottom line is that very few artist make money off of their record sales. The money is all in touring and merchandising. Really what it all comes down to is the fact that buying an album is like casting a vote, and if you believe in the music and appreciate it, it is your obligation to cast your vote so that the industry will support the project. If you don't care about the music enough to be willing to cast a ballot then feel free to download all you want it really doesn't hurt the artist (so long as the artist is signed). I personally am looking foreward to the day that CDs no longer exist and the entire industry is internet based.

yes, I download music, software, ebooks and movies all the time. It's very convenient, and it's free! And no, I don't feel bad even though the RIAA would like me to since they're only out to fatten their pockets at everyone else's expense.

I recommend Emule.
