Illegal Music Downloading allows poor teenagers with no money to get inspirational music which may have an influence to turn that teenager in a better direction for a bright and prosperous future which, as a poor teenager, may not otherwise be a possibility in their life.

Thanx, Gerst. Im gonna kinda edit that into 2 and use them.

Complete opinion, and with the music that many listen to nowadays, I'd say the opposite is more true.

Or they turn into an emo that thinks grabbing their own ankles with gentlemen standing behind them is exercise.

Rofl

Yeah that happens a lot too. Either way, still a good statement.

Coming from a cold fish like you yeah.

Downloading music gives me the ability to make better informed purchases at the music store.

Downloading music doesn't give you AIDS.

Downloading music illegally takes less time and allows more freedom and higher quality audio then what you can purchase through a store such as Itunes.

For example, if you want to use a song to edit a video, mp3 files have no DRM (digital rights management) scrips in them so you can use it as you please. Also, if you want to download a song with a higher quality rate you can generally choose what bitrate you want based off of what is being shared. Itunes only offers their songs in 128kbps audio format.

LOVE IT!

Downloading illegal mp3's saves starving children.

anyway, i got a serious one:

if you download illegally, the feds can track the download to your computer's IP adress (or something like that) and then have the record company sue you and take you to jail if youre over 18. right now theyre only doing it to the ppl who constantly download illegally, but in the future they may do it the first time you download illegally...

Paranoid much? It does happen, but you do not need to preach it.

^[:O] omg, im soo sorry... i was wondering why everyone else was giving pros for illegal downloading [sillyme]

Lol.
Ok its all done.
Thanx for the help everyone.

Saves money?

* No DRM
* Higher Bitrate ( Quality ), CD's are shipped with 128k bitrate ( Needs citation )
* Allows you to trial a album before purchasing.
* Quicker
* Can play and move onto many devices.

Not really many pro's.

What pros are there for legal downloading besides that it's legal?

The artist gets money in order to support their band?

Hell no they don't.

Yeah you need citation. CD's aren't written in MP3 format, they are written in something called Red Book Audio (.WAV is the closest thing file format to it), sampled at 44,100 kHz, 16 bit, stereo, and 1,411.2 kbit/s.

Had to fix some stuff.
