Downloading Music From the Internet
As usual, I was watching a cable news program last night and thought this would be an interesting thread to start. Some musicians and record companies are upset that people are able to download music from the internet and are asking congress to intervene. They say the websites that allow this practice are stealing and it would drastically reduce the amount of music people would otherwise purchase (hence, reducing revenue for them).
Although it is legal for us to buy and share music with our family and friends, they want to make it illegal to share with strangers via the internet. However, it was noted by rapper Chuck D. that this issue isn't isolated to the United States, but a global issue.
Has anyone ever downloaded music from the internet before?
