Yes I did download the album for free. When I downloaded FF which was the first time I ever downloaded anything off the internet. I wasn't thinking about how it was wrong, I didn't even care. When I got caught with free music on my computer I ended up having to sit and hear a long ass lecture about how it's wrong, then I cared because I realized how much it's hurting the artist. And after that I deleted the album off my computer and decided to never to do it again.
illegal downloading is wrong, and I don't approve of it at all. I didn't realize some countries don't have access to music except through file sharing. There should be some other way of getting music, because getting your stuff for free is wrong. The amount of work artist and etc.. put in and money, and then you go download it for free.
I know it's wrong to illegally download music. But in this economy, I don't want to waste my money buying CDs that I don't know I'm gonna like it or not. I usually listen to it first via download, and if I like it, I'll buy the CD.
