vtabletop said: A few years backI used a software calledKazaa to download all kinds of music videos , but the downside was that I used to get alot of bugs along with the downloads and I had to remove the software.Since then I don't download much music.I usually either purchase the cds or borrow them from my friends and burn them.

Some poeple regard music as their passion, I don't think it's an addiction though. 

alwaysright said: That I do agree with, your downloading habits (free music) is cheating the artist out of their money. I think that their right of earning money for you downloading their music is only fair. But these days people don't think about those things.

I do agree with this but I also think that itunes asks way too much. I mean $.99 a song, to get the songs that you really enjoy that week itll cost you like $10. Why is anyone going to end up spending that much on a song when they can just download it for free? I think if itunes lowered their prices then people may stop illegaly downloading music.
