you do realize that you're not supporting the artist by buying music off of a download site? Usually artists get a VERY VERY small percent, like under 10. Which means these big companies are taking 90% of the money and shoving it into thier own pockets.

I say, download your music illegally, and if you want to support the artist, send them $1 for every song, or $13 for the cd or whatever.

I'm not against giving money to the artists, i think they deserve it, its the RIAA thats hogging all the money, and who i hate.

Yeah, they do deserve around 60-70% of the cut. 90% is a bit high because of manufacturing costs, distribution, advertisements, i'd say it'd cost around 25-30% of the total gross income to cover those for the larger artists.

I support them by downloading their music off of the internet and then referring other people to buy them.

What? I'm doing my part. Eat me.

most of the music i get is on cd because the music i want to download isnt on any of the file sharing things, so i'm forced to buy it, which i have to do online since no stores around here sell any good, real punk.

I download - if I like most of the CD i'll go buy it - problem is it's hard to find a lot of the music I listen to around here :-\ If I only like a couple of songs, i'm not buyin' their album.

if i want to buy cds in a store i have to go to NYC and go to virgin mega store(which is by far the coolest store out there (to some degree, if they had clothes then yes the coolest)) and thats not worth it, with the train ticket and all to buy cds.. and even then they dont have some of the ones i want >:| so i generally just go to www.angryyoungandpoor.com or www.interpunk.com and order stuff. angry young and poor has some sweet shit. nice bowlers

You can burn mp3's to cd format you know, and the quality of mp3 is just as good as cd.

But yeah, i have an ipod that hooks up to my car stereo so i have like 4000 songs to thumb through when i'm driving lol
