"Regarding the debate about illegal downloads, keep this in mind:

Musicians/Composers receive NO royalties for downloaded music!!!!

We recently lost this one in court - according to US law, a piece of music that is downloaded is not afforded performance royalties. It's just like composing for film: composers get no royalties when the film is displayed in theaters (only in the US, not true in the rest of the world!!!).

So, downloading music illegally is illegal and wrong, but you're not actually doing any direct harm to the musicians, only iTunes/Rhapsody/whatever."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Of course you are doing harm to the Musicians!!! Here's an example:
I just got Clarinetist Joze Kotar onto Itunes. If you go there and purchase a track of his he gets xxx $ per track downloaded. If you were to find it on an illegal site (ya can't as there aren't any as of yet who have it) than he wouldn't be getting any royalties from Itunes as a result of that sale. The 60 cents that he would have gotten is lost if you don't purchase the track legitimately!! What happens then is that the album doesn't make enough for him to bother to record more works and ya know who looses?
