Downloading Music Is Bad, But We Love It Too Much!

There's one thing that people, especially artists, have to understand. The
music industry is changing, there's no way to stop people from downloading
music, it is something that is uncontrollable and the only option for music
artists today is to adapt.

But wait a minute...is it really a bad thing? Is the internet really doing harm to
the industry? I don't know about you but if I was a musician I wouldn't
complain...in fact I'd be happy to see people downloading my music, what a
compliment that would be for me. If people liked my music then it makes
sense they'd try to get it by any means possible, I'd have more fans, my
concerts would be sold out, it would encourage me to make more good
music... overall, I'd just be grateful for it.

Unless of course my only interest was to make more and more money. Then
I'd spent little time creating original material, I'd spend more time trying to
figure what would make my music sell and I'd probably be pissed to see my
music going away for free... what a loss of money. But art is priceless, the
value is in the people liking it.
I have to say I'm not a musician, so I can't really put myself in their shoes
completely and see how they see it and the way they experience it. But I know
that anything I'm passionate about I'd give for free, and I'd love to see that
others appreciate it.

The problem today is that music artists, especially in the hip-hop world focus
mostly on making more money, rush when making an album and expect
people to just give them money for a piece of unoriginal "cannot-be-called" art.

There's no solution, we can only keep on doin' it over and over again!

We like it too much... just like you!
