Downloading music

I´ve read a text about ”downloading music” and the text is wrote by a guy named David Furritus. He is writing about downloading music, what effects it gives and things like that. One of the things that he is telling us in the text is that the recording artists doesn´t get hurt really, is more the websites and the record store that is getting hurted, (lose money on it).

Personally im FOR downloading music. One thing is of course that it is for free, you don´t have to pay for the music you download, you don´t have to go and buy one song just because you want to listen to it.

Some people doesn´t even have money for buying CDs especially not students in our age if they don´t have a job. And like David is telling us, the artists doesn´t get really hurted or losing any money because we are downloading their music. I think it´s more important that the artists that have made the songs get the money too.

The recording stores and websites is not as important as the artists because if there wasn´t for the artists the recording stores would not exist, right? The artists is just getting more and more popular by the time and that´s most because of that we are downloading.

There is many artists in the world that we still today have not heard of. Many people who are totally strangers for the society becomes one of the biggest artists later and that´s is much because of our peoples downloading.

It´s more efficient and more comfortable to choose which songs you want to listen to and which songs you want to download. When you buy a CD you buy all the songs in it, that means, even if you doesn´t like each song on the CD you still have to pay for it while downloading is giving you the opportunities to download the songs you like and the best part of course is that it is for free.

I´ll go back to the thing I said before, many artists are getting bigger because of our download, and it´s true! They´ve got many more people on their concerts and more people who had become their fans. This means that the artists is getting much more money than before of course and many supporters and other persons with business around them are getting richer.

When I say supporters and ”other persons with business” I mean that there are many people around the artists that makes dolls that look like the them. They even do posters and other things that has to do with the famous artist and of course, people is buying this things and that means that even businessmen are making money on them.

I will now tell you in my own words what I think would happen with the artists if we stop downloading.

Even if there is a law that says that this kind of thing is illegal I think that many artists careers would end if we stop downloading. It is a new time now, it´s 2011 not 1970 for example, some people can not listen to the same music every day and then we have to download new all the time.

Artists would not be seen like before if it stops now, their concerts wouldn´t be as full as they are today and that would lead many artists to stop producing new albums and songs.

There will always be music with us, but I really do think the downloading is very positive, for us because it´s free and easy, and for the recording artists who gets things that is probably the most important for the them, fans and money.
