If there's a struggling artist that I like then I can support them directly. I can hypothetically still download music and support the artists I want to support at the same time.Last edited by DARKSEID; 11-20-2015, 10:31 AM.

oh dear.
My initial post was made jokingly, did it escape you all. As someone else said, if I really dig something, I'll go ahead and buy it too... probably on vinyl too.

one person downloading music illegally isn't signifcant.
there was a dude named kant, who knew some sh#t about a lot of sh#T. he said something along the lines of, "don't act in a manner that everybody can't replicate."
what happens if everybody starts downloading music illegally? will musicians and record companies just say, "well, they beat us, i guess we're going to work for free for the rest of our lives."

People are smart enough to support underground or up and coming artists, and steal corporate stuff at the same time.
I'm sure Adele is comfortable already.
