i dont think that it is a big deal what are the artist gona be like omfg i cant buy my son that private island i was gona buy him for christmas because of you people who download songs
I cant say i blame the artists and record companies having a skitz because at the end of the day they are loosing out on money that is rightfully theirs. But then again, free downloading is easy, fast and not costly so the middle class people out there can enjoy the music without spending a bucket load on CD's that get thrown into the oldies section. The artists should be in it for the music, and perhaps not so much for the money. If people find a way to compromise then that will settle this problem.
