I couldn't when I was in highschool. I didn't really ever have money to spend. Now I have a job and I must say +1. Really it is the most 'secure' option.

This is what I do :

Listen to an artist on youtube.
–If I like it : go buy an album with the songs I liked on it.
–If not : don't buy.

I don't have a job or anything, just a passion for music.


Also, I don't watch movies, they're just irrelevant.

demonoid FTW

got an inv code for that?
never heard of the site before is it good?

I used to download stuff, but that was to really 'preview things' I can say that because I have gone back and paid for the things that I use. I think that if someone makes some thing nice, it is fantastic if they share; there are programs that I am willing to pay for though. And music if it is worth listening to then it is worth buying it to listen to it. I view purchasing something as 'voting' everytime I buy something I am saying 'I like this product and want more of it'. As such it is nice to support artists.

I agree with this, i do this with a lot of artists and a few movies (It takes a lot for me to like a movie) like Fight Club and Inception.

Folks, Piracy is illegal and has no place at SRL last I checked.

You guys might want to check this out. Just posted it because i thought it was interesting.

If the law get passed im pretty sure like over 80% of the worlds sites including this one will disappear.

Nothing new, but I, personally, would find it interesting to see it pass. I know for a fact shit would get real.

^I use it all the time, can take music from damn near anywhere (Pandora and Grooveshark is what I mostly use), pretty awesome and not necessarily illegal…

How can something be 'not necessarily illegal'?? I thought it was like pregnancy… it either is or is not…

@ luffs.. I saw your hide-a-text first time and yes. I agree.

I will when the artists get my money, and not the publishers.

Then support indie artists who publish thru CD Baby/ just through iTunes. Without the record label in between, they make 70%

Even with labels and all, they still get some part of the money.

Hardly any buddy
When you cut out that middle man, you make sooo much more. Digital distribution is the indie artists dream come true. You get some fall out from piracy, but most people will buy your stuff if they respect your work

iTunes is almost just as bad as record labels.

But yeah, I have bought some stuff from some smaller bands.

Not actually!
It's 30% to itunes, 70% to the artist, as compared to what ends up being closer to 10% for the artist when you go through record labels

First of all, why does the money matter? As long as they can pay their taxes, rent, food, water, bills, etc., why does it matter? I know if I were to make music and try to get people to listen to it, money would be the last thing I worried about.

Not everything's about cash, man. Shit sucks that way.

Depends on where you are at and who is trying you… It basically just takes the files that they give you and puts them in permanent storage on your computer, which may or may not be against the terms of service, or violate copyrights depending on how they are read…

At the rate record labels go, you CANT pay for that stuff. As a musician, I'm aware of this stuff. Of course ideally money wouldn't matter, but that's not how our free-market society works.

Two of my brothers have been in (one is still currently in, the other had a daughter and isn't anymore) bands and they're doing fine. They do have to have another job, but I think that's only fair. The amount that entertainment people get is ridiculous.

While I do not like downloading music, I also do not support record labels stealing their money.

Also getting a second job because the musical work you have done is only giving you Chinese sweatshop working pay is bullshit. If an artist put in 500 hours of work into an album they should get what they deserve.

I like how you justify by saying its different because there are lots of entertainment.

I don't have time to work another job. I have about 2-3 hours free a day, at different times every day, besides the 6 I set aside to sleep, and my uni classes, which Im also struggling to pay for.

Everyone always says, work harder, if you would just do more you would make enough money. Thats a load of crap. There's only so much one human being can do before they can't handle it any more. Most people here are probably in Highschool or in university, and live very comfortable lives.
