that's a really good idea doug, and not to mention very selfless.

Hey kid above me!

If it had been selfless, he wouldn't have taken the music. Sure he tries to make ammends for it after, but still.

Doug "feeling very good about myself right now" is exhibiting the signs of pride not selflessness, so before you go confusing 'guilt payment after theft' for 'self-sacrificing' choose your words and consult a thesaurus or dictionary.

Oh yeah, and by mentioning the band, you have probably contributed largely to ongoing theft of his music....self-less indeed!

Cool idea. It probably made much more of a difference to him than buying his music, because it was an honest, person to person action; something that our culture has generally lost. You have every right to feel good about yourself.

by mentioning his name, he's getting the artist out there, which I'm sure he wants, and maybe that will cause people to go buy albums. Why so negitive

Had you bought his CDs, he probably would have gotten, at most, $5 out of it. So, in a way, downloading his shit and then giving him $10 is win/win. You get his music, he gets more money then he'd have gotten otherwise.

I know how you feel. During a Swollen Members concert I kinda felt bad for downloading their music, so I bought a bandana.

i've heard that downloading music usually helps the band or artist because people would be hesitant to buy someone's music that they don't know a lot about, but they might download it for free, end up liking it and then pay money to go watch them in concert, although part of that doesn't make sense because they are losing money from people downloading it illegally, so i'm not really sure what to think about it, the one thing i do know for sure is that the record companys lose money if you download stuff illegally

most bands don't make the money off records sold they make it off of concerts so for the most part stealing musica isn't a big deal. and yea if you steal music then like ^ said you get into it and go see a concert and that benefits them.
