Even though I agree with this, I still recommend (and encourage) watching films in theaters. Mainly because I feel that it’s just better to see things in theaters.

This is bullshit. Misleading, deceptive, and a terrible attempt at justification of not wanting to pay for an immensely inexpensive product. While I agree that corporations, and the industry and general should learn to adapt, you are still stealing by downloading. It’s a fact. The people that write the music aren’t always the ones that own it, the record labels do, and I may be siding with “evil corporations” here, but you hurt both parties by refusing to pay for it.

And even when the artists do own the music, and do allow you to download, there are usually versions of the music you can pay for, which they would prefer. This is a rare scenario, though, as most artists need the support of people to buy their CDs, and many who don’t still do not approve of the downloading.

Articles like this perpetuate the same thing they denounce, the media trying to twist your point a view a certain way. This is a very misleading article trying to represent a basic point, that change is good, but is not a justification or perfect representation of the scenario at hand.

Fight for something important, please. Not your right to not pay for music ever.
