I believe that yeah it's not really fair to the artists who make their money
by producing the music and having people download it for free, but it's also
not fair that they charge so much for a cd no matter how good or bad, or how
many or few of songs it has. If you look at most artists or pretty much any
artist, how many of them live in a small house? Or don't drive a very
expensive car? The artists make alot more money than most people anyways and
it will continue to be that way.

This is like the big music programs like "Napster" and "WinMX" Where you can
download music files for free from other users of these programs. I believe
this is wrong. You are basically stealing music from the bands that are
putting this music out. But at the same time I think it should be able to be
done, because lets say I am thinking about buying a CD but I am not sure yet.
I think downloading them for "previewing" purposes is fine as long as you
delete them. Also I think it can be good for new artists to get their music
out there for people to hear. But just remember just because it is out there I
dont think you should just be able to download a CD for free, burn it onto a
CD - RW and then never pay for anything. If you are going to download I think
the only way to us these programs fairly is to delete them within a day or so
of downloading them. I think this like I said before will make it so you can
preview m usic and hear new artists but not just steal
there
songs without paying them anything. Also like ITunes programs works where you
pay 99 cents for each song which I think is also very fair because then you
dont have to buy a whole CD when you like 2 songs on it but at the same time
you are giving the artists there share from producing that song.

This website talks about parents that are surprised about the lawsuits that
are being put in the courts about music sharing. It also talks about how it is
illegal.
