song prices are way to much

[-ry!]

the song prices on itunes are like woah, its so much easier and better to just download because its free, tbh i wonder why the hell would you buy from itunes.

-What do you do, download or buy?

[scottish]

technically you pay to download it, so you're buying it and downloading it...


but yeah downloading without paying is illegal!!!!!!!

[-ry!]

omg shud i delete this thread b4 a mod see's or what?

ot/ yep i know it is illegal

[Oleh]

Downloading without paying isn't illegal.

Storing said download is.

[geo]

I buy stuff if it's from artists I like, youtube converter if I don't love the song. :P

[beth]

i don't really buy singular songs, i'd rather pay for the album and then download (oops) singular songs.

[FiftyCal]

Isn't it only 0.99 cents per song? If you have like 10 songs on an album that's around $10 and thats about how much an album costs here in the States.

[Red]

I don't really do either. I just use spotify and youtube

[ColyTom]

I pay for all my music, I prefer to have CDs but I pay for downloads sometimes too.

[triston220]

I pay for the majority of my music, which is usually bought from iTunes.

[Jordan]

99p or less isn't much for a song really? :O and I pay for my favourite artists and then see if anyone else has songs I am looking for before I use my effort to get them myself :(

[Suspective]

I always use YouTube these days, used to use iTunes but YouTube is just as good tbh.

[Judas]

I buy CDs from artists I like, and I will buy songs from iTunes if I like them enough because I'm not a **** and like to appreciate a song that I enjoy.

[-ry!]

so expensive i dont see the point if you spend 10 quid on a album when u can just download it

[dirrty]

i'd rather download my music and spend the money on alcohol, clothes and food tbf.

[Judas]

Because it's just respectful? I'd be lying if I said I bought every single album I own, but I buy every one I can when I have the money. It isn't cheap to make and sell an album so if I want to support an artist I like I will pay the full price because I appreciate their efforts...

[-ry!]

respectful nt to download music ? lol the artist earns enough money as it is wif gigs n stuff

[hiyahon]

99p is nothing compared to when u had to pay £3.99 for a cd single when we were all computerless.

Lmao artists have to tour because if they didn't they wouldn't really get all that much money because of the amounts of piracy these days.

True, this is why single sales are higher now than they used to be and album sales are lower

That is a stupid comment, maybe some pop artists and well known earn enough money but it is a hard industry to crack.
I admit I do download music illegally but if there is an artist out there I appreciate then they do deserve my money as there music is top stuff. Also 99p for a track is hardly a lot to ask for considering the time it can take artists to produce a track.

I don't really do either only if i really like the song i normally just play songs by using youtube :D

[FiftyCal]

I usually use youtube and watch Lyric Videos. If i like the band and i want to support them i buy their album from best buy.
