Does anyone else see the piont in paying for music?

I agree with the others. While things such as limewire and bearshare are nice and convenient and easy and fun. And free. \nWould you want someone to appreciate your hard work that you put many hours into without paying you?\nImagine spending hundreds of hours on a project that your poured your heart and soul into and not getting anything in return.\nTheir payment has to come from somewhere just like yours does. \nThat is the field of work they have chosen. You have chosen yours obviously outside of music and entertainment but why punish them?

Paying for the theme song involves paying extra money.. It's not included as part of the show..

You know, the next thing is they're going to implant a chip in our heads, so every time you listen to a song, a fee will be automatically  deducted from your Bank-account. Go figure, personally I think they're getting away with murder.I miss those Vinyl days.

Why would you want to buy "free" songs?

the guy above is right, not all of that money goes to the artist, some of it goes to the people at the record company. And not all of them make good money. But, I do think it is stupid that music costs so much. I don't like the fact that you have to pay $20 for one CD that has maybe twelve songs on it.

It's fine, as long as you appreciate that buskers will only have a finite repertoire. There's a fairly good chance they either won't know the song you request well enough to play it in public.\n\nEven if they don't know the song you're after, you should still leave them some money (obviously not as much) to show your appreciation of what they do do.

usually you have to pay for sheet music. unless you get tabs (if there is such thing for violins)

you know its a conspiracy. Im pretty sure that the ticket brokers work for the band and the labels and the venues. its just another way the record companies and artists make extra cash, without you thinking its them thats actually ripping you off. You know they put a couple of the best tickets to the side until the show sells out and then have someone working for them sell them for five times the price.\nthats extra profit for the band and the record companies.\nYou know as well as i do that the record companies wouldnt allow that to happen unless they were the ones making the cash.\npeace\ndjkevin@sbcglobal.net

I had napster and dropped it because the monthly fee was too high and you dont get what they say you will for the subccription fee. I suggest the best music service I found is I Tunes or msn music . Napster and Real and Musicmatch charge a monthly rate and Itunes and msn music dont and you get good service from both .

You need permission because you will have to pay the artists for use of their music, if you don't have the permission you are leaving yourself open for legal action being taken against you.

iTunes, Napster, or Music Match.  All fast reliable and legal.  All music is at some level copy written material.  The band saying it is free doesn't make it so.  They have to jump thru a lot of hoops to give up all their rights so always take care getting music "for free".

Well, I am an advocate for leagal downloading.  Theer is a site wher eyou will pay about .10-.14 cents a song, about 2.99 or less an album.  You will pay about .99 anywhere else.  Check out either www.allofmp3.com or allofmp3s.com with the second one you can get unlimited download deals, its cheaper because the company is in the netherlands, but its legit and they have lots of other things to check out.  Thats where i went a while ago and I am very satisfied.  Thanks for the www.jesusfreakhideout.com i had never heard of it, ill be on there quite a bit now.
