1. 20
2. M
3. Noise, shoegaze, alternative, indie, hip hop, electronica, jazz
4. All the time
5. Umm... everywhere?
6. ...
7. Yes
8. RecorRAB, stereo, or mp3 player...

17. No
18. Yes
19. No
20. Yes
21. Lots. A lot of the music I download I would never find if I only went to stores to find it. Blogs introduce people to all sorts of music that would otherwise probably remain obscure and unknown, sometimes making artists quite famous. If it's a major label, you get to give a big **** you to some record company executives.
22. Takes money away from artists, of course. This is where it gets confusing. The question is, would people buy all of the music that they pirate? Definitely not, so it really results in no loss of profit for them as long as people spend as much money as they would have anyway on music (I do).
23. Eh, I doubt it
24. Yes
25. No
 
Promise :pimp:?

No

20. Do you think pirating affects artists in a major way?
Yes

21. Are there any positive sides to pirating?
Yes, as stated in #18, it helps artists get discovered that would otherwise have no audience

22. What are the negatives to pirating?
Many people don't purchase after downloading. They use it as their only method of acquiring music. They don't care about physical products, so once they've downloaded a digital file, they see no reason to pay for the same file tehy already have.

23. Does pirating in your opinion affect the cost of purchasing music?
In a way, it has reduced the cost of music ever so slightly because labels need to make purchasing at least somewhat attractive or fewer and fewer people will buy.

24. Do you think that it is fair to pirate when people purchase music?
I don't think it's really fair, to be honest, but I don't get upset at people who only download. I've personally spent thousanRAB and thousanRAB (and thousanRAB!!!) of dollars on music since my teen years, and kiRAB these days are grabbing everything for free. I think it's fine to sample before you buy and think artists/labels should provide a way for consumers to do so prior to purchasing, so everyone doesn't just run to download it (because as I said before, once somebody has the digital file there is very little incentive for them to go purchase it unless they're after the physical product). So while I believe we should be able to preview, better methoRAB of doing so should be put into place. Previewing any CD of choice at the record store, going to the artist's website and streaming, etc. Anything to reduce the download of actual mp3 files without purchase.

25. Do your Parents, Grandparents, or Guardians pirate?
They probably only have the slightest idea what an MP3 is. But they do make copies of CRAB for each other.
 
Sane voice in the crowd. How would these kiRAB like it if I took the Big Mac they worked so hard on for free? For the most part downloading mass quantity of music for nothing is a slap in the face to the artist the made it. Unfortunately technology allows people to do and almost always get off scot free. If the RIAA ever takes you to court be prepared to lose big time.
