Poll reveals fans' downloading and copying habits
Tue 17 Jun, 2008
I have to agree with andyc--it's the musicians who suffer from illegal downloading, not these big record companies. Besides, more and more big name artists such as Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Prodigy, and Oasis are opting in signing with indie labels or putting out their own music to side step these evil empires. So as far as the thought in thinking that you are giving the finger to these large labels by not paying for music guess again, it is ultimately the artist that suffers. Labels are known to drop musicians from contract if the artist does not meet any benchmark sales.I'm not sure if it is a generation thing going on but I am 30 y/o and I never had any desire to illegally download. I gladly support the musicians I respect and I am fan of in purchasing CD's and/or legitimately downloading the songs. Why would I help a good artist possibly get cut from a label or better, not get compensated for their hard work and time by not purchasing their work?
