I really hate the idea of file sharing. This has always been a problem for me because I do use this medium as a way of discovering plenty of bands. Id say nearly 50% of the bands I listen to now are because of file sharing. I dont feel word of mouth or print are very reliable recommendations for me to spend my hard earned money on a disc that I may listen to once and then just collect dust in the corner. I often find myself struggling with this because, no matter how miniscule, I feel it is theft. At times, I feel like a hypocrite, but I feel that I generally follow my own guidelines well enough to remain ethical. If people were honest and used it to only check out bands and not to pirate whole albums, I would have no problem with it. This, though, is not feasible. I know I will probably come under scrutiny being a hub op and what not, but this is how I feel on the matter. Id just like state that I do think a band should have complete control over their music. Its their creation, not yours, so its not up to you to dictate what is done with it. If an artist doesnt want their music being taken for free, I support that. Honestly, if you like a band, you should support them by buying their album, its that simple. If you do download complete albums and never plan on buying it, shame on you. Its people that do this that ruin music.
