And I don't support illegal filesharing (though I have to admit, I have copied the odd CD from friends). But this is bad, I know a couple of young really talented bands - guys who need all the money they can get - and if their music was taken from the internet that would mean less cash for them to pay their rent. I have less sympathies for the Madonna's and Robbie Williams of this world, but for young, unheard of bands - you can't steal their livelihood.

As I said, for the big artists who have more money than sense anyways, it isn't really going to matter - but please don't steal from the little guys!!!

My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely
Love is the law.
My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely
There's too many home fires burning and not enough trees

Take Muse for example, they did it the hard way - started small, independent first album, toured their arses off and damn well earned their success. But once they've acheived their fame it's ok to rip them off?

Also people often cite piracy as hurting the small bands most, but what hurts and stifles the small bands most is the current operating practises of the record industry, but that's another discussion.
Whilst small bands and independent labels are almost as open to download piracy as the other labels (almost as there's less copies and so not downloaded as much) these same bands and labels are the ones making the most of the digital medium. Years ago, whilst the record copies were ignoring the internet, small bands were using it to distribute their music which otherwise would never have got released.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
