in case you did not realize, musicians actually spend a lot of time and money to create music. downloading music really hurts the musicians and labels and many underground bands and labels are forced to quite producing music because they are simply not making any money. so before you decide to steal music from an artist who worked hard on it and could definitely use the money, think about what you are doing. a cd is only $15, which I think most people can afford. If you really can't afford the $15 for a CD, that still doesn't give you the right to download it.
besides, having an actual copy of the real cd with the original artwork and the original cd packaging is just so much more valuable to me than having some mp3s on a computer.
I've talked to many bands and labels who all agree that music file-sharing is hurting them, and quite frankly it's sad that some people think that there's nothing wrong with it. Music is not free, it takes a lot of time and effort to produce.
anyway, on that note, sharing illegal music or links to illegal music on here is not allowed. If you are caught doing it your thread will be deleted and you will possibly be banned from the messageboard.
