As a musician I feared what the impact of downloading would have on my career. The music industry needs your dollar to survive and make more music.Īs a music fan I didn't see why I should be deprived of hearing good music. Not a completely bad concept, but think of the long term effects. Nowadays that mentality has changed because if you can't afford it you can download it. It's kinda what you get when waiting in line to get into a concert. What I do miss, however, is how when I was younger I would save up my allowance so that I could buy an album.
I won't think any worse of anyone who downloads music because I've done my share of downloading in the past, but not anymore. I just read an article about the morals and legalities of MP3 sharing, and I would like to share my thoughts on it as well as hear yours.įirst off, no matter how you phrase or explain your use of MP3s you download, downloading songs that are available for sale is stealing and stealing is illegal.
Unlike CDs that replaced analogue tapes, MP3s are not just a new format to which you can listen to music, but also a means by which music can be distributed.
OK, well maybe just the MP3 part is true, but the music industry has changed so dramatically since the introduction of MP3s that it's not even funny.
