Musicians Pay.
Downloading doesn't really touch musicians, tbh. Record companies have never paid huge swathes of royalties for record sales and they never will.

So long as you're still going out to watch gigs, or radio stations, TV, and adverts still play music (and pay the song writers through MCPS) then those who are talented to write their own songs will continue to make money from music.

Being an aspiring musician with pretensions still to make money out of it one day I have no qualms with downloading as it just means a bit less money for the labels, not for the song writers/musicians.

And there you have my opinion. Now back to work with me.
