Most bands and song writers only get a few cents of royalty for every CD sold, so having people download their songs off the internet instead of buying the album doesn't really hurt them at all. It actually helps them, because the more people that hear their songs, then the more people will come to their concerts (which is where bands make most of their real money).

The only people hurt by this whole thing are the RIAA . . . and I say so what! Let's bankrupt those bastards!!!
