Until people stop caring about live shows, t-shirts, and other merchandise, bands will always make money. Downloading has never been empirically shown to harm any band's bottom line. In fact, for all but the largest and most universally well-known, it offers nothing but positive effects.

Bands tend to make more money from touring and selling merch than they do from selling records. The big corporations are the ones not making all the money when people download.

The Grateful Dead welcomes free recording and sharing of their music. Maybe once in their 39+ years have they made it to the top 10 billboards. However when Jerry was alive they were the highest grossing band around.

Because of their touring.

Yeah, like, when you go on limewire, aries, etc. and you type in a band's name, that is actually helping them. Especially if the band is just about unheard of. Because, when u download something by a "rare" or new band. If you like it then you can buy a CD, therefore, making them money, same as if you recommend the band band to your friends.

i agree, bands don't make money off albums, the companies do. the only time the band does is if you buy it at a show. they mostly make their money off merch, even touring doesn't always pay that great. i have no problem buying a cd though. it does get their name out there in the sales charts. lots of radio stations base what they play on what sells i think.

they tour and tour and tourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!downloadin... is not cool and neither is record exec's ripping the fans off or the bands on there labels.........fine line............
