# yes
but even then I knew to pay artists for their hard work and generally appreciate the work of others as I would wish others to do so of mine.

# I'm pretty confident that your or any other generation would have done just the same given the chance.
Not that I agree with it. I prefer to buy CDs.

# Fair enough.
I'd agree. But its abit hypocritical considering i download music alot.

# do you like the artists you download?
if so, why the fuck are you stealing their hard work?!


Honestly, think about it, it really doesn't make sense, you're biting the hand that feeds you.

# I know.
But they seem rich enough to be honest.

Also the nearest shop is 2 bus journeys away, and they never have the music i want anyway.

I could should buy it online..money is an issue too.

# Tescos are pretty rich, but I wouldn't steal from them because of that.
I steal from them purely for the buzz.

# It'd be very boring if you could.
I do see where you're coming from. Some bands it'll make very little difference to them whether you buy or not.
But I make a point of buying CDs from the smaller bands I like, especially at gigs where they can get most of the money directly without it being creamed off by middle men.

of course, it's arguable how much the music industry pay artists for their hard work and how much they cream off for themselves.
