I will take advantage of free music when it is legitimate. I usually buy music, but very little from iTunes. I prefer to buy the CD as it can stay with me even when I have to replace my computer (and re-download repay for anything I bought).

Why pay money if it's free?

I download music for free only if I'm putting new songs on my Ipod. If not my source of music is youtube.

I would love to download the music for free. However, buying music has its benefits. Buying music says that you own it for the future references.

If I really like a band/singer/group, I buy their physical CD.
Most music I get for free or I listen to it on Youtube.

pieman9 : That's not necessarily true. The Agents and Record Companies of the artists are very rich. The artists a lot of the time doesn't actually have that much money, just gets everything payed for them. That being said, I do what most of the people on here seem to be saying. If it's somebody I really like, I'll usually buy the cd. If it's just somebody I want to listen to maybe once or twice, I'll download or listen to it on youtube.

While bands make most of their money from merch and shows I still like to buy a hard copy of their music if I really like them. Other than that I get it all for free.

I will never accept free art. I believe very deeply in supporting artists of all walks of life. It's not easy to do. If it was, I would do it. Even if I don't like the music I'll pay for the right to listen to it, because anybody who puts effort into what they do deserves to be rewarded for what effort they put into it.

People also don't understand that music pirating is kind of illegal. I've never once had anyone give me a valid reason why pirating isn't the same as stealing. You're taking something without paying for it.
The "it's just one copy" mentality and reasoning that they have enough money so why does it matter doesn't work because if everyone thought that way--which they do--then nobody would pay for it. Which they don't.

A little bit of both really. If I'm just getting into a band/artist, then I'll download a song or two of them as a "trial" basically. If I like them, then I'll get it off ITunes or go to a record store and actually buy a hard copy.

I usually buy the album so I can download it to iTunes, and trade CD's with my friends so we can all have a pretty big collection of music.
I never download free music, as it is ILLEGAL.
Haven't any of you seen the South Park episode? Lol.
