Debate: Music, Software: Downloading
Alright.. I was talking to this guy tonight and he said downloading music is not as bad as it is to download software and one of his statements he used to defend his statement was, artist don't get paid that much from there cd's sales as a programmer does when the software sells..
Well, does that mean it's not stealing if the artist it's self is not loosing that much? Besides, someone is still loosing money from you downloading music (record company). So in anycase you are stealing from some.
Also, when does a employee of IBM who programs gets part of the profit of the sale? My aunt who has worked there as a programmer for 30 years said she doesn't get paid presale, but per hour. Also, how many people program software to give them all a peice of the profit would be abusrd and a stupid choice on the company part.
So when it comes down to it, to download music is that anymore okay then downloading software?
