Do you in any way at all pay for your music? Whether it is through itunes or buying CD's that you put on your pc. I'm gonna be honest here, I have never bought any music in my life. I have around 2k songs, mainly at 320kbps and always download the latest. Artists are way overpaid in my opinion anyway.

Also the thing about artists being paid too much is a lame excuse. They only get paid because people buy their stuff. If you could be as talented as them, I would love to see you say 'Don't bother buying my stuff, download illegally'.
On the other hand, I do really appreciate your honesty. Also I do see why young people download music illegally - they cannot afford to pay for all the CD's.

I think CD's are WAY overpriced, which is why people do download illegally...
I buy most of my music from itunes, but, I hardly EVER buy the whole album,
Just songs i've heard, or know

I understand the logic behind saying "if everyone downloaded their music illegally we wouldn't have any artists" or whatever but there are thousands/milions of people who detest the idea of downloading music illegally so as long as they stay around artists get paid plenty of money. I do actually buy music from newcomers who I would like to see make it big. I bought N-Dubz Uncle B and I also bought Roll Deep's CD. Not with my own money, with vouchers. As I said I am proud to say that I have never paid for any music, vouchers don't count. Originally Posted by Milestone

CD's are not at all over priced. I would like to see you make some of the stuff that gets released. Originally Posted by :odey:

I buy Vinyl records of the tracks and then illegally download the MP3 web version. I personally think I'm not doing any harm by doing this.

I pay for every single track I download using iTunes.

I don't really have an extensive song list, but I could list all the albums I have bought, which isn't really much.
- Ten by Gabriella Cilmi
- Lessons to be learned by Gabriella Cilmi
- Demon Days by Gorrilaz
- Elephunk by Black Eyed Peas
- Quite a few of the 'now' CDs (from when I was like 8)
I listen to most my music on youtube, but if there is a song I want, I will usually just download it. I have an iPod Touch which I orignally got to use for the internet and apps, but I am going to be putting a lot of songs on there, so I imagine I will be downloading illegally - except for artists who I really support and like the majority of their songs - I will most likley get the albums.

I almost always download everything illegally. When Joe McElderrys song was released I had it on itunes within about 5 minutes of hearing it and the same goes for most new songs I like. The only artist that I actually go out any buy the physical CD is The Saturdays because they're just fab.
