Downloading Music illegally hurts the artist

[patrickscott]

[BAS3D]

The only time I have ever payed for music was when I was six and I bought and Aaron Carter CD.

I could sing every song on that album.

 

[Sakura Bunny]

Rappers usually have songs that boast about robbing people.

Psh, hypocrites.

Sometimes actually robbing people! Like Lupe Fiasco robbing Modest Mouse.

His version was worse too. To be fair he had their permission so it's not really robbing.

Haha nah, Scary Spice and Posh Spice.

 

[AllseeingSharingan]

It's does but artistbhave adapted to it and more of there income comes from tours and ppl wanting to see them perform live

 

[iNotorious]

Ain't nobody got time for that, free music ftw.

 

[Sangre]

I've always bought my music through iTunes. Movies on the other hand... I torrent those.

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

Just because they're taking pictures with stacks doesn't mean nothing.

They take the picture because the money is about to blown on all other kinds of shit from label fees, distribution, Producers, etc.

 

[Callypigia]

As a musician I don't mind. In fact our band gives a lot of music away for free. If you love music and love sharing it, it truly is not about the money.

 

[Joon]

They avoid taxes like the rest of the rick-folks.

 

[elitenoob94]

Funny thing is that money is nothing compared to most MC's out there and Rick Ross and Tyga are complete trash.

 

[The Dreamer]

Yeah... I'm still gonna download illegally.

 

[NaNaNaaaaa]

It is also unfair.

These singers may have money but they also worked for it. Granted, some, like Beyonce and JayZ and Kanye West, spend there money in a manor, that considering the state of the world, is disgraceful but a lot of artists work very hard.

It isn't fair that someone comes along and steals there music, personally I only ever get my music from iTunes or Amazon.
