The general feeling amongst people today seems to be that the relatively new media of online music is a good thing. Personally i am not a believer in downloading music as opposed to actually buying a CD or an LP. One of the main reasons for this opinion is that eventually it could greatly decrease the size of the music industry and the amount of bands around as profit from CD's is one of the main things financially allowing them to create this music and without that income there may not be any more music created by any of your favourite bands.Another reason for this opinion is that by downloading music you miss out on some of the things that makes music so great-having a tangible record collection as opposed to something stored somewhere in the hard drive of your computer.
