why would any artist who cares about their music resent me downloading it?
...
What decent musician would have a problem with that? They have to make their money, sure... but for casual downloaders, I really don't see that it harms them at all.

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

i resent paying money for it. I think that ppl are too concentrated on the money aspect in music.

maybe when the music industry becomes less profitable, then only those ppl who actually seriously care about music will start releasing

"NOn, It does make sense!
It's like Metallica getting upset because they're being downloaded... how many millions of dollars have their records made them?
It's just sad. "
I stilll don't understand this philosophy. I always feel like either the person hasn't thought it through, or they know something I don't.
If you keep stealing from musicians, in 10 years, there may not be any musicians! If there is no viable demand for a product, the supply will disappear.

i really believe that those who appreciate music as a true fan, are those who will be putting the money in anyway and that's the money that it's worth getting. The act of downloading hundreds of thousands of track just to show off how varied your taste is or whatever, just seems to me to be utterly materialistic, (depsite there not being much material about digital tracks) and the record companies are obviously wanting to exploit this for their own gain...

See - I agree with this, infact this is what file sharing should be about - hard to get stuff, rarities, deleted stuff etc.

People get so much music, they really physically couldn't listen to it all - they don't even know half the stuff they had, had no knowledge of any what song was off what album etc.

And I have to say that the statement of some music being more "proper" than others is a pretty closed minded one. All music is valid and proper, whether or not you like it. Pop bands are doing well because they appeal to the tween-age kids esp. girls, and they have masse marketting on their side. Most of their money comes from the crap they sell, which non-pop bands tend to avoid. Do I like them? Not particularly but I damn well will defend their right to make "music". I have heard much indie rubbish in my life as well.
