Most people only download material they weren't going to buy anyway! I have loads of RATM but I also listen to stuff on youtube etc that I haven't got that I won't buy! Same goes for those who can't afford the records!
still.. there should still be someway of the bands making money out of it. otherwise they're going to end up splitting up because they cant afford to release albums, because nobody's buying them and just downloading them for free...
the only people who really complain are those who are just damn right greedy. I heard Robbie Williams complain about people downloading his material for free, with a elevator in your 3rd house Robbie I'm pretty sure your still making a damn good living!...It's the same when you lend a copy of an album to someone to listen to, thats being going on for years! They loose just as much money people doing that! How many of us as kids EVER had a 'genuine' Cassette album??
because maybe some can't afford? hell there are countries in which such music is illegal! but i do agree that torrents are a good way of getting music...tho youtube is way more accessible :)
they can make enough money by touring if they are good tbh.

it doesn't matter how you hear the music, as long as the message gets acrossed. i buy their albums though.

If the music is good, then the bands will make a lot of money touring. I am proud to say that I have legally purchased all my RATM albums.
Testify!

I disagree - with utorrent bit torrent - limewire etc.
and to be honest youtube...
If people are such fans - why do they go round downloading albums without paying towards the band?
