  25. Re:I never got it on Yahoo Exec Speaks Against DRM · · Score: 1

    My take on Piracy is that I now go to more concerts. I have gone to 4-5 concerts of bands that Iwould not have heard of were it not for the ability to download music. At sad concerts I end up spending $50-100. So the band is getting more money from me than they would had I bought the CDs. Downloading helps smaller bands get their music out and finds fans. Downloading probably hurts people like Brittney spears and 1 hit wonder type bands.
