People should not download. They say that this person is thier favorite artist, and that they love them and will support them. Well they dont when they are taking peoples music away. It is flat out stelling and I feal that it is not right. sincerly,

Illegal music downloading isn't right because, it affects the music community. Thousands of people each year lose their job because of illegal downloading. Besides, there are many legal websites to visit.

People should not download music illegally if they know what's good for them. And if they dont want they parents to go to jail or be sued they would not download music they would just buy the artist's CD!

i totally agree with u all because if recording artist's so called fans love the then the should buy the real thing and support them. when you copy, burn, or "bootleg" items, you are considered stealing and you can go to jail or pay a big fine or doing that type of activity. So dont do it!!!

i think you shouldnt download because its very much like stealing and most people know that stealing is not the right thing to do when you can just ride your self to the store and buy the CD or just wait to listen to it on the radio.
SO THINK MORE THAN ONCE!!!

I think you SHOULD NOT download music because you are stealing something that some else has written and taken their time to write. Also by doing this you are damaging the whold Music Community and you are taking money from the people who are employed in the music industry. Not all music downloads websites are illegal, there are some legal ones but it doesn't become illegal until you start sending it to all your friends.

Illegal downloading is not fair to the artists and recorders because they do their work but get No money! It IS illegal to do illegal dowloading and it is real conseqenses. Just don't do it. I belive you should just go to an legal site to download. It is fair afterall. The artists and recorders will be :D. STOP ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING NOW!

People should not download. If you download music why take away the commitment of that artist. If you love that artist so much why take their music.

i don't think it is right to download illegally (well, it really isn't right), because it is against the law, and you caould go to prison for downloading just one song. it's stealing from the people who put their time, effort, and money into that one song. i just don't find it reasonable.

I bieleve as a true fan of my favorite artist that people shouldn't download.If we say we are true fans than we should by the cd,vidoe,etc. when we download illegally it kind of show your true character as a person. As people illegally download i dont think they know were they could go or just dont care were they could end up at.So people shouldnt illegal download.!

You shouldn't download music illegally. That's just stealing. Everyone should know that stealing is wrong. That's just something your parents have been teaching you since day one.

Illegal downloading is stealing from the artist. It's just plain wrong

j_ware said...

I feel it's wrong ypu are making artists lose money.

Downloading illegally is STEALING!!!! No people shouldnt do it because it doesnt just hurt them in the future but the artist also. I feel that it isn't right to download illegally and that pirates need to be taught a lesson the hard way and taught to just go to the store and buy the artist's cd!

delvon said...

i think we shouldn't pirate because it's wrong.they have the monet why not just by the cd

People should not download music. It's taking money. I want to become an artist and I don't want people to steal my money. There are other ways to get music.

Anthony said...

I think that we all shoud not download.It made the artist feel bad about us taking his/her music.

I think illegal downloading is stealing. I think also think that when the artist's fans say they are true they are lying because they are stealing from their own favorite icon. I think that it should stop and no longer exist once people see what they are doing is wrong.

ilegal downloading seems like free music when you know nothing about it and it seems like nothing is wrong but as you research it and learn more it is just like walking in to walmart and taking 5 cd's and walking out
that is what u call "stealing"
