most real artists aren't obsessed with profit anyways...they just want people to hear their stuff.
i go to enough concerts that it makes up for the whole downloading thing, imo.

Yep. Not back to Vinyl or 8-tracks, but cassettes and cds, yes.

music is shitty because the industry (the business and money making) focuses on the shittiest music, as does the culture, and because the music industry focuses on some daft notion of "the entire package" like as if these turds are actors or dancers or something, performers basically, and only pretty-dumb packages get to be made out of the myopic daze of fame and celebrity. and thus it's always been.

all the best musicians do not care about album sales. because they are making music that doesn't revolve around album sales...well, mostly. i still wouldn't say piracy is a good practice to just do all the time, even (especially) with your favorite bands. you should support them as much as one can but...it's not really taking more than a few cents a pop, out of any artist's pocket, when you download an album. what you're really doing is taking 20+ dollar's (usually) out of an executive's wallet.

fuck em. they are the bane of music. even musicians who make GOOD music for those SHITS have to make it with their hands tied behind their backs. i'm not saying there is no good popular music, most of it though has been taken for granted from day one, since one's band/album as belonging to a particular label, save maybe in recent years with the indie music scene taking a spotlight. i wouldn't say that they are the same thing...nor metal label's for example, they do not cheapen a bands image or sound, not at least since the 80s/early 90s (which is when most metal was on major label scum; go indie labels).

$ signs on music and art RUIN them both.

no one who is an artist or musician does it for money, lest they are a whore. you may make money, but you need money to survive in this world. though you do not do things simply for that, when you're doing art, otherwise, you might as well not even bother and just stick to more lucrative enterprise.

Now take that 'few cents' and multiply it times the number of illegal downloads.

You're making the ridiculous assumption that everyone who downloaded the music wouldn't have bought it given that was the only route of acquiring it.

I'm not talking about Justin Beiber, I'm talking about people you've never heard of before..

Either way, the laws on my side and but for the fact piracy is in fact a crime, OP never would have started this thread.  Period.

First hand?  That's really your comparison argument?  Think that through..

It's safe to say there's more people than you know trying to make ends meet playing music.  Like it or not, that takes money.  No money, no more music.  I'd like to think you're familiar with how business works.

you can never really tell where the money's going. there'll always be music. buying music is just entertainment. frankly, i'd buy alot of music if i could afford it, it just only for the fact that some bands and musicians i wish i could shower with money unfortunately do not gig in my area so i can't help support them but by buying albums, which given the length of any musician/band's repertoire, is not really that much money from little old me. and not everyone buys their music, some just go to shows...some don't support the industry at all. and then there are people who wish they could buy all the band's albums but can't afford it, and then that isn't even addressing the fact of favoritism. what band can be considered "the one to support"? the answer is: whichever one you're willing to support first.

that's the business side of things; which doesn't concern me. if the band wants my money, they should earn it.

which wouldn't really happen, i mean, who pays for their own dedicated band? oh yeah, no one. no one does. musician's make music because they want to. +) i know, i am one and i don't deserve shit for it; it's all charity. people like my music and want to pay me to do more of what i do, well then there is a calling...but the point isn't making money. if it was, then you'd see an industry that wouldn't be supported, at least by me, anyways; and hardly worth investing into. that's what buying albums amounts to, an investment.

and there ain't much i want to invest in, and most that i do are one-off's and my piddling cashola isn't going to make a even a single glimmer in their pocket. they need to come to me, then i can support them. otherwise, i need to buy their whole discography, which i am usually not interested in, and even when so, they get how much money from me buying their limited set of CD's, what do i do, collect rarity's? do they get paid for that?

Yeah I'm not trying to defend the integrity of the industry or anything, I'm just saying that by the letter of the law, op is stealing, got caught, and is now venting about it.
