Why is it that folk who would never dream of stealing say a vase from a pottery shop think nothing of stealing music by downloading it for free in both cases it is the result of someones labour and they have the right to be paid for it.... thats why there are those little things called royalties...
I pay $9.99 per month to easynews.com. Got told it was good by dj friends of mine who use it. There are limits to how much you can download, but I have never been close to that and I got all I needed
its the principle someone used their creativity and effort to produce something but because one is copyable it seems to be ok for people to sort of help themselves,,,
thanks possitive answers an to those having a rant..ive never downloaded music friends have always done it..as for wanting things for free mark gimmie gimmie gimmie im sure if someone offered you something for free you wouldnt say NO!!
If someone offered me something for free but which was stolen, I most certainly wouldn't take it. To do so would make me just as much a thief as the person offering me the stolen goods. Perhaps you are different in some way...?
In the not to distant future, I see many an Extradition Warrant winging their way from the US to here to pick up persistent downloaders of material which has a copyright. The UK gov won't do anything to stop it either.
