I am writing a paper for my music history class, and I just wanted the opinions of my fellow 6gc'ers.
What do you think about music sharing programs, such as Napster, Limewire, etc.? Do you think they should be legal (as in completely free)? And why? Please, only educated replies.  I believe that they shouldn't be legal, because artists and bands work very hard to produce songs, and I don't think it's fair for the public to download an entire album for free. I do believe though, that if certain artists want to allow the public to hear their music free, they can. But artists that do not want their music to be free, should be blocked from the public. What do ya'll think? -------------------- |

QUOTE(Batman722 @ Mar 29, 2007 - 6:39 PM) [snapback]541159[/snapback] music is and should be free. It's sound waves in patterns, that's all. artists make money from touring. That is their job. Not to mention the money they make from merchandising. If artists want to make someone pay for their music, then they shouldn't release it for people to hear. the problem is that it costs money to record, produce, mix and master that music you think should be free. it takes MANY hours of work to create those sound waves and patters . -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
