I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on music downloading.
I think it's a good thing in moderation because you can sample new bands but as soon as it becomes about downloading albums is when it becomes wrong as it means artists and albums are without a source of income which might mean less music in the future.

downloading of music, lets hope james hetfield aint about otherwise may get an ass kicking!
downloading of music, I like ta download MP3s so ta hear new bands n stuff which is great, also as rick says if i can get album early then hell yeh I will but then i hafta have the actualy cd n all. To be honest though I don't think it really affects the artist as much but the record company as generally they rip bands of left right and centre anyway and tis the labels that majorly complain, I aint saying its right n never buy a cd again coz do buy the cds and i cant be bothered anymore with this typing.........

I'll download a song I like if I hear it on the radio or see the video for it. But after 3-4 songs I'll get the album. Just a good way of noticing bands or if you like one song from a band but hate the rest of the album it makes sence to d/l one song.

Last night I saw Hundred Reasons and the suport band Senses Fail said 'We've got a c.d. for sale downstairs for £6 but if you havent got any money or just don't wanna pay for it you can download it for free. What exactly is wrong with downloading music any way? In fact don't but our c.d. downstairs just go home and download it for free."

I was talking to Wol about this not too long ago and he said that the kids who download albums aren't "true fans" and I think this is true because if you were a true fan you'd go and buy the CD and support the band. Obviously Senses Fail were either using reverse psychology and relying on "true fans" or maybes they don't feel affected by the impact of music downloads like some bands do.
