Downloading songs is not good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm against people downloading music.
Downloadable music is the biggest musical phenomenon since the Beatles, and the music industry is slow to come to grips with that.
We have to make the physical music a little more valuable instead of just having a download link and a bunch of songs you downloaded from some torrent site. People try to make the music value-less, and I don't think we're going to stop that train, but the one thing that they can't devalue are things that are in the outside world.
I'm happy if my music is being downloaded, whether it's legally or illegally.
For the most part, rock fans don't go and buy CDs any more, very rarely. It's pretty much about downloads and streaming.
If you can't get your songs to people one way, you have to find another.
I never download anything; it's crazy! We must keep buying albums and DVDs.
I have no problem with people illegally downloading stuff. I'm not going to drive hard into 'You should buy my stuff,' because really, it's inevitable. If you like a song, you're going to download it for free. I have no problem with that.
Music, even with these dial-up connections you have to the Internet, is very practical to download.
I think downloading is both saving and killing the music industry at the same time.
