- That's horrible you shouldn't do that! First of all the bands or singers hate when fans do that because they don't make any money off of it so it's a waste. Second, It's illegal. I heard that my cousin's friend got arrested for downloading illegal songs and Movies. Most of the time if you download illegally their is a chance your computer will get a virus too...But whatever it's wrong!!!
Not all bands and singers hate it. Some just want to get their music out there. It depends on the artist.
Right. Like indie or underground bands need it to spread their music and build a fanbase.
And some popular musicians, like Ryan Ross, have said they don't mind it if it's the only way they could get the music.
Personally I do it very very little. I rip live stuff off of YouTube but I only used Limewire once, because it makes me very paranoid.
I don't like iTunes too much for downloading though, because they keep 90% of the revenue, and it comes with tons of DRM.
