Piracy costs music biz $4.5bn

Come on people. Don't you realize who you are really hurting buy downloading music instead of actually paying for it? How are you going to feel when 50 cent can't pay his 30inch rims off on his 4th H2 (cause bitch, real playas have all da colors)? I don't think you want that kind of grief on your shoulders. What about starving artists like Baby of the cash money millionaires? Yes millionaires, it really should be billionaires but you broke bastards started downloading and now he had to put the platinum fronts on layaway. What a shame.

Support you local starving rapper/pimp. Every song you download puts a “ding in the bling”.

rofl, I feel so bad now. Nice work kockblocker1.

If a group is big enough to actualy have their music on the internet in MP3 form, then clearly they are already making money, I still buy CDs if I actualy like most of the songs on it, even if I already have them all or can get them all on my computer, I like to pay my respects to the artist, but mostly I just download, and if I didn't they still wouldn't be seeing the money.
