Downloading a song you didn't pay for is STEALING, nothing more, nothing less. If buying a $15 CD is to expensive for your wallet, then do like everyone else did for years and listen to the radio.
Now I agree with this to the point of theres a brand new cerial no ones tried its different. Theres no one to recommend it too you, the adverts will perhaps advise you to buy it. But in all honesty you wont buy something you might not like till you tried it.
I'd say 50% of the albums I own come of me downloading a song or two of that artist. (I'm into hip hop which isn't that mainstream in the UK) take DMX I'd be suprised if anyone could name more than 4 songs by him.
I agree with both sides I don't like the blantenly robbery of music to me thats just as bad as walking into HMV and walking out with witha Wad of CDs without paying
However I also know it takes more than one song to make me buy an album. Both sides make a good argument, but to be honest you have to pay for what you want and its always a minefield nowadays
