I do. Its alright, if its like an off the-record track or just some songs from artists you don't really like, or just a song. I mean i do it to everything, sometimes (for paramore) i want to try and buy their albums, but its just so damn expensive. I know its not good, because the music industry is really tight with money and illegal downloading is becoming a huge problem. When i get the money like the guy below. I want to buy the songs, i downloaded illegally. - some anyway :P

As soon as I make enough money, I will buy all the music I have downloaded illegally. Unfourtunatley most people aren't going to. Shitty hey?

It's called file sharing and in some places it's legal.

Who do you think gave you the tools to File Share? The same people or companies (Sony) that tell you that it's illegal. lol

@My_Little_Decoy, i think your theory of it being ok if you make it up with merch or whatever is amazing! i can't believe i never thought of it that way :)

My_Little_Decoy_3's picture

I buy all my CD's off hmv, and if I get an itunes card for my birthday or whatever, i'll use that to buy individual songs.
I only download songs illegally if they're rare ones that aren't in CD form.
I think it's okay to illegally download if you make it up to the artist in other ways, such as buying their merchendise or going to one of their gigs

I get all of mine off iTunes, so no.

Yep. But only when i have no money, or i feel as if theres better things i can could spend. I've never downloaded anything illegally for my favourite bands (Paramore, MCR, AAR, YMAS, Elliot Minor). Except old's demos, acoustic that you can't buy, not the BNE ones, or just any rare songs. Album songs i usually buy. Bands i'm not fussed about but would like the albums i download.

I have done in the past but only songs that are'nt available to buy. I prefer not to do it though because you have to be careful when downloading illegally not just because of it being illegal but some downloads contain viruses and can mess up your computer or ipod.

I used to. Not anymore, I'm satisfied with Spotify.

I buy Cd's, and songs off iTunes, but some songs you can't get/buy anywhere, so those are the songs I download.

I dont mind downloading music too much aslong as you buy it if you like it, basically download it to "trial" it :P

DREY_2's picture

Well like most of the song i've got areillegally download , i've got like 1500 songs ! D'you think i have enough money to spend it all in music :O .

Yes. I really don't think it is wrong at all though because as long as your band is having people listen to their music, the money is made up for when they go to a show of their or buy some of their merch.
I buy all Paramore cds because if you really like a band you have to support them more.

I usually just buy a cd or borrow one, then I rip it to my computer.

phoebebird's picture

is borrowing CD's from the library and then putting them into iTunes illegal downloading, then yes. personally, i think it just like borrowing a CD from a friend, but my dad said that technically its illegal. i really don't care........

i don't think i've bought ANY songs of iTunes. i either own the CD or borrowed it from someone.

Ok I did it more than once or twice lol but I didn't for paramore or green day actually I bought an all time low album off iTunes coz my laptop is currently screwed

Chris likes Paramore♪'s picture

I buy a CDs then put them on my laptop sometimes then sync to my iPod but I may have once or twice... I don't really like the idea of of it when an artist works real hard and then people just get their stuff for free but times can be tough Money wise and I can't buy everything so...

The only Paramore song I did that for was Swim in Silence coz it wasn't available so I converted it from a YouTube video, oops :P
