Everything used to be so much simpler and easier back in the day, especially when it came to music. You bought a record, tape, and CD if you wanted it and that was it. Everyone went to the music store and bought their music from there. No one was concerned if you were going to copy it and sell it to your friends, they were more concerned if you were going to steal it from their store, and obviously everyone knew that was wrong. If you wanted to go to a concert, you stood in line and paid for your ticket. Things were just simple, cut and dry.
These days things are so much more complicated. Is downloading music wrong or okay? I feel like there are so many questions you have to ask yourself when it comes to downloading music. That’s why I have come to the conclusion that downloading music is wrong. If you know that you have to question yourself before doing it, it probably means that you are doing something that is not all the way right. So just stay away from it. There are copyright laws for a reason.
I do not necessarily agree with the law, but I do abide it. I do not feel bad for music artists getting paid millions of dollars, when other people with more important jobs are working their butts off and not getting paid near as much. There are many other options that artists can go about making money.
I would feel bad about downloading illegal music, not because I feel like I am stealing from the artists, but because it is the law.
