Fact is that unless someone had illegally put stuff up on the net, I wouldn't listen to the majority of the music I do. And then I wouldn't have legally bought the CDs, merchendise and concert tickets.

if i could return a cd after i bought and listened to it if it blew donkey balls then i wouldnt need to download it.

most of the time tho i check it out on a bands facebook band page or youtube it, if i like it then i order it on amazon.

I don't agree w dairy products & I still eat that ****
Are you in a band? How is Mastodon supposed to complement their touring revenue w products or how are bands who don't tour supposed to sustain their music careers

It *is* stealing. It's sales theft, not merchandise theft.

However, no one will change their mind because a misspelled Chuck Norris told them so.

If Chuck Norris says it's piracy you'd better listen or risk a roundhouse to the throat.

Yes, I DL music that I pay for. I don't burn disks anymore. I used to steal MP3's on Napster, 10-15 years ago.

Wow, has it been that long?

Its not stealing when I download a song onto my phone. See, I pay for a phone service, and I pay extra to allow me to legally download a certain amount of data. Paying for something is not stealing it. When you download a song on iTunes is it being stolen?
