Cause I don't have enough money to spend on everything that appears.I respect certain authors and producers and I buy the cd/dvd in original after listening, but that is nearly 0,001% from what I download.

The second reason is that sometimes with all the good intentions to buy something, you cannot find it even in NYC Virgin Records store...and then here in BTw I can access it within minutes!


I download @ 30 gb/week of music...some of it ( less than 5% )survive to see the next week, and i increase my collection with @ 1-2 gb/month.

I have it almost be called a hobby, but it is not only specifically to download music using ....

i feel pity for you.

seriously, how can downloading files be a hobby ?

Erm, because it's something you enjoy doing?

Im downloading 4-5 albums per month. I do it because i want to be able to take the music with me in my ipod or pda without being bound to any service(such as spotify etc).I havn't bought an album in store the last 10 years, but i have bought ~10 mp3-tracks on the interwebs.

Race pres .... earn income ;)

I rarely download music. I used to a lot, but have found it too time consuming to maintain a good collection. While I can get it all for free it's just too much work. I prefer listening to Pandora where it makes lists better than I ever can.

I used to download to get all the songs I wanted while I couldn't afford them. Probably one album every 2 weeks on average.

I'll download the handful of albums of pop music my wife wants each year.

I have no good reason to download. I could pay for it. I pay plenty for entertainment as is. I guess it's just an old habit.

that's a good article in german, which could be useful for you:

i share files coz i prefer to have my stuff available digitally.
(coz my flat is not large enough)
i share files coz i can get things this way i would never get at all.

i guess because i love freebies... :)
