Ultimately downloading free music is good for music fans - it promotes more competition and means bands have to work harder and create better music. BUT there are plenty of LEGAL downloads out there - use sites like sellaband, cherryecho.com, and slicethepie, that's where smart new bands are uploading their music and gaining a fanbase - it may take time, but sites like these will ultimately force more and more mainstream acts to be more generous.
