How does everyone feel about file sharing?
Does anyone buy music anymore?
Personally, I still buy original CDs when they are released by any bands that I have been collecting over the years, not just to support the bands but I feel that it`s the right thing to do.
I have downloaded albums that have been out-of-print on CD but I owned the LP for years.
I feel that is fair as I have already paid for a copy of that music.
Just like sharing bootlegged concerts I think that it is alright provided there is no profit made by the downloader.
Record companies had their chance to cut the price of CDs years ago but kept selling them at ridiculously high prices (althought they have come down now), so anyone, like me, who has bought music for the past 25-30 years might feel that it`s time to get something back.
Having said all of that, let`s not forget that low record sales lead to bands getting dropped from company rosters.
Huh?
