Do you buy your music

    Do you support the artists of the music you listen to by buying their music or do you download your music illegal?

    I used to buy cds, but now I am a premium member at Spotify and that's really all that I need.

    I download, i used to buy CDs but i mean, why pay for what you can get for free. Besides, I know im not hurting those artists income. Considering, theyre paid by more than just a record label.

    I have no use for CDs and I only buy digital music from my favorite artists, the rest into the download bin. Artists don't really make much in music sales though, it's the merchandise that gives them some kind of profit.

    I used to buy CDs, then the music industry started raping its customers by overcharging for that little piece of plastic. They got greedy, too greedy, and people found a way to get the tunes for free. To be honest with you, I think after all the years of overpaying for music, the people that download them for free are just doing some dollar-cost-averaging. Me... I'll plead the 5th.
