Illegal Downloads

I was speaking to a buddy of mine. He told me he found this wicked new band and he can't stop listening to their album. He love's it! He then went on to tell me that he illegally downloaded the music. He actually bragged to me how he would never pay for music or give companies like iTunes a cent.

I then told him that most of the money goes to the artists. If you love the band so much, you should buy it so they can keep putting out albums.

He then went on to say, "Why should I pay for it?"

People love music and admit they can't live without it, yet, they refuse to pay for it.
Why is it that musicians aren't compensated for their labors?
Why is it that society doesn't look at it as a viable occupation?
If it was so easy to do what we do, then why don't they do it?

Support your favorite bands and artists!
