Illegal downloaders to be threatened by UK ISPs

New agreement will see downloaders 'warned by letter'

I am in complete agreement with 2xtdg. I am a student and simply cannot afford to buy all the albums, singles, special editions, greatest hits etc of all the artists which I like. I would much rather pay to see them perform live, which more than makes up for it anyway. I don't see why people should deprive themselves of music, good or bad, just because they simply cannot afford to purchase it. If illegal downloading wasn't around then I would not have heard of half the music of the majority of bands that I pay (more than once) to go see. And anyway, if I do have enough money then I will buy albums, I just can't afford to. What Duffy said about the kids not being able to afford music therefore this allows them to have greater access before they grow up and use their decent income to purchase music is completley true. Also, illegal downloading allows you to hear what's good and what's shit, usually resulting in the really good, deserved bands bing rewarded with album sales - which should hopefully let all the shit die out.
