Hey,

It seems illegal downloading is at the point where you can find anything, download full albums in the time it takes to listen to one song and doesn't look like its going to stop.

My view on the topic is I KNOW it is stealing but still do it, If I download an album that is good not just one or two good songs and the rest fillers I will buy it no problem. I feel this way because I found myself buying heaps of albums most of which I'd listen to once or twice then never see it again. This becomes even more of a problem if you go to troubles to track down a CD you have heard good things about then after hours of hunting turns out to be utter crap.

So I was just wondering what everyones view on illegal downloading(Via torrents and etc) are?

PS- Last album I bought was Dream Theaters Systematic Chaos, strangely the only "bad" song on it was constant motion, no idea why they made a video clip for that song.

Thanks
