Good Or Bad- Free Music Downloads

Is downloading illegal music a good or bad thing, many artists are out there arguing different cases for it so here are the positives and the negatives?

The Good

The great thing about it is that you can listen to the album before you go to the shops and buy it, only liking a few songs means that you only have to buy the songs that you like. This is a good idea because there are so many albums out there where there are only a few good tracks on it. Money is a really big problem at the moment which is why there has been a rise in the people that are downloading all of this music for free.

The Quite Bad

If I am being honest then everyone knows that downloading music for free is not right and should not be done. People argue saying why should you pay McDonalds for you to get fat and tobacco companies for you to get lung cancer when music is something you enjoy and is good for you. Well because people can. If someone was to try and get these for free they would be thrown in a cell for five years, why should it be different for music.

People tend to forget that that this is actually illegal and shouldn’t be done.

The Ugly

Idiot artists like Shakira believe that by people downloading her music for free it makes her feel closer to them, not only is that a bit weird it is wrong. This really is fine for her to say as she has a lot of money in the bank to sit on if it actually goes the wrong way for her. Lily Allen has it right in saying that people should pay for the music. it can be very expensive for artists to make an album. People always forget that writing music is not easy and takes up a lot of time and that time is money, many bands make their money just through album sales.

Bands must fork out to buy all of their different guitars like electric guitars and the bass guitars.

With Spotify and other similar programmes out, there is no excuse at all for downloading illegal music when you can listen to it for free first without download.
