A little known fact of the record industry is that the artist makes almost nothing from record sales. The greedy record company keeps most of the money. The recording industry calls downloading music theft and likes to point out that you are stealing from the person that made the music. Nothing could be farther from the truth. You are really just stealing from them and they are the ones that have been stealing from the artists all along.
If you really want to help artists that you like and feel deserve to be paid, go to their concert.
