"Hey, I think that it is bad but it has it adventages. People say that its "free" but you probably will end up getting spam mail after "purchasing". Its good in the sense that you can find almost the wierdest and coolest bands that don't sell in the shops. Before you purchase it, think of the musicians and there income? Its from people BUYING their CD's not copying files... Oh, and I love the Shins..."

"Well i think you should be able to down load because its cheep and the price of cd's is well too expensive and if you can get them for free why not? Also if there's only one song you like of the artist you don't need to buy the whole album for one song. It is also good because you don't need to leave your house so for all us lazy people it's great."

"Artists can't expect people to pay up to €25 for a CD if they only like two or three songs on the album. If they dropped their prices maybe people wouldn't download music off the internet. A lot of their fans are young and can't afford to buy CD's so,of course they're going to steal it if possible. As for using the word 'steal' the music companies are the real robbers! "

I think although downloading music is good, I think people should pay for it. If you're an artist you usually release music to make money right? Downloading music for free is going to kill off the industry!!! Artists won't make money and thus won't be able to make more music!!!
