every copy you download is the equivalent of what you would have otherwise purchased
the bottom line is less physical copies sold. hurts the artist, and label.
im an artist, and a very small one at that, and i saw where a guy was selling an mp3 copy of my cd (along
with others) for money. not only was he wrong for copying it, whoever bought it was wrong as well.
im curious if the folks who are all for stealing artist and label music are musicians or label owners
themselves ?
