Week 10

I personally never thought that downloading music for free of the Internet was a bad thing. I has just recently come to my attention that it is stealing music. Downloading music from a major label artist is not as bad compared to downloading from a struggling artist who depends on there record sales to help them survive the music industry. Copying a CD from a friend should be in the category of "good sharing" because your friend has already purchased the CD anyways, and maybe listening to their music may prompt you to go out and buy another one of their albums. It is good to share music with friends because that can also open your ears to different kinds of music and then you will want to buy the CD. I do that all the time and I am sure others do it as well. The only thing that is "bad sharing" is downloading music from independent, struggling bands, new musicians like that should not be free to download unless they are established as a major label artist.
