lol Limewire...

[Kilroy]

i really don't use any of them and I never have. Illegaly downloading music is stealing from the artist. This is actually one of the biggest reasons why the music industry is doing so badly. people are downloading songs for free.  Some artists can't go on tour anymore and some have to wait longer to make new records because of lack of money. I just use iTunes and I only buy music. I fail to see the point of renting I movie so I can watch it on my iPod instead of watching it on a 40-inch TV that I already have the DVD for. Occasionally I'll buy a CD, but most stores never have the one I want, that's why iTunes is perfect. It has almost everything, it's legal, and it doesn't hurt the artist.

And yet most big labels usurp most of the money from CD sales and artists usually make most of their money from concerts and merchandise and stuff like that.

Exactly. Because of all this limewire poop artists have to depend on their shows for their profit. Its kind of sad that some artists can't even go on tour because they can't pay for gas. you can thank limewire and esnipps for that.

Albums are such a small percent of artist's profit, it's not even funny.

It all comes from shows and selling their songs off for other media.
