Your views on illegal downloading.

[bo$$]

I've bought any console games that I've wanted.
Any movies that I think are really good/I haven't seen but really wanna see, I usually buy from a movie store.
I've bought a few CDs that I felt were worth spending the money for (or that I just really wanted at the moment) but I do download a lot of stuff for free. I plan on buying a CD in a few days, if that counts for anything.

I do download illegally when I can't download from iTunes or buy CD's. Although I mainly illegally download songs that aren't released yet. =P

I don't see the harm in downloading music, because most of the time, I only like a few songs from one album, so paying for the whole thing would be a waste of money. However I do buy games, films and TV shows. They offer so much more. There can't be something you don't like in a game, otherwise you wouldn't buy it, it would ruin it and you cant take it out, whereas in music you can. In films, you're buying one item. If the film was bad, you wouldn't buy it, if theres one part you like it, its not worth downloading. See where I'm going? Downloading music just gives you the option to download the songs you want. Many of you might just reply, ever heard of iTunes? But cant be asked man, escpecially when I know when I can get it from free and theres no issues.

I am totally against illegal downloading. At the moment, thankfully, the film industry hasn't been affected, but the music industry is actually being crippled. If illegal downloaders actually gave a damn about music, they wouldn't support piracy.

I like you and all but i gotta disagree, Music should be about passion and entertainment, not exploiting us on how much money we should pay, if they want to sell, make it cheaper, it certainly costs considerably less to make the cd than sell it, hopefully this doesnt turn into an argument

It's a business. It can't run without the money it makes.

And Skajo, go ahead and taunt me all you want, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. But please, go ahead and tell me the next time you're working with Peter Kay and Collin Farell. At least I have the skill to work as an Executive for a multi-million pound company, right?

Thats like a TV. You don´t steal TV´s do you?

Last time I looked TV´s cost considerably less to make than what they charge?

Just my thought
