down loading

Is down loading music appropriate? I dont think it is. cause the music industries lose money. But also it is a medium to get your name out there. Free or not...If you have to pay for the music all the time to own it or listen to it, your music will not be bought. Once again to due think it also equal out the playing feild for the customer. For example, I remember when I was younger and would by a lot of tapes for all the music groups out there. Well Alot of times you bought a tape or Album that had only one good song and the rest were fillers. Now, The customer just has to download one song rather then buying the whole CD. Therefore is also keeps the artist and Recording companies on there toes to go guality work.
