OK, so I'm starting to feel like there's a bit too much "download music is EVOL" vibe here.
I do not support downloading music illegally and keeping it on one's computer or mp3 player.
On the otherhand, I don't feel that it is always neccessarily wrong. If people really are simply downloading songs in order to sample them and delete the songs after deciding whether to purchase them, I don't actually have a problem with that. Sometimes it can be nigh on impossible to hear the songs that you wish to without purchasing them, and you really shouldn't have to buy something to determine if you want it or not.
Sorry if this seems a bit of a wasted post, but I was feeling bad because the debate seems to have degenerated all towards my side . . .
