I'll choose the pirate way.

It's too late, the RIAA screwed up when they sued Napster (and RIO remember them) out of existence. People will pirate music out of hate for them because afterall it doesn't hurt the artists anyway.

I'm an Apple fanboy and I gotta say, the Amazon MP3 store is definitely my first go-to place for buying songs.

If you have s**t taste in music that's fine just don't pirate the good music because they will stop making it. Its the same with TV, if there is nothing on don't watch the crap turn it off. If you download Futurama and Heroes but then watch Big Brother on TV next year you will get 24/7 Reality TV and nothing else!

there will always be good music. that's the thing, people automatically think that musicians make a killing from cd sales.....they do not. thats probably where the least amount of their money comes from. the big labels take the majority of the 20 bucks you pay for a cd. the artists see next to nothing from that sale. if artists dont sell cd's it doesnt mean that they will stop making good music. music is an art, and it's these people's passion. a true artist just doesnt stop painting because their works arent selling...
