music piracy... i need some opinions

[OOO]

2. if you aren't buying the music illegally then i don't see what the problem is, because you aren't paying somebody else for something that is not theirs. and most people, i would hope, if they liked the album enough would go buy it at the store or go see the band's show.

 

Most sites (but not all) where one goes to get music illegally have advertisements up on them. They are compensated (how much I have no idea) by these ads, so you really are paying them by loading the page and viewing their ads.

I gather this guy is from Suburban Home records, the label I just bought 4 Smoking Popes related albums for $10. I guess things ARE really bad.
