People have been discussing for a long time whether it is better to pirate music or to pay for it. Some people say that music piracy should end since artists lose a lot of money because of that. Others claim that the prices companies charge are too expensive, and they already win lots of money.
On the one hand, it is true that as long as people keep downloading pirate music, artist and corporations will lose money which otherwise they would win. But the ones that get more harmed are little musicians; if these artists get their music illegally downloaded, it is harmful to them, even more, if they intend to live off the money they make.
On the other hand, fans already buy albums and merchandising of their favourite musicians, because a group of people doesn't pay for it, the difference in the money they get isn't that big. Also, if people paid for every song or album they listen to, they will have no money left for things such as the basic needs.
To summarize, I believe people should keep downloading music illegally, as long as they pay for some albums, but not each album they listen to, that way they would run out of money. But people should support the little artists by buying their albums since they are the ones with fewer money incomes.
