Someone Is Paying For Your Free Downloads


This entry is spurned by my long-time irritation that the Australian and New Zealand governments impose a 6% levy on purchases made from the iTunes American store. I have written to both parties on the matter over a period of time on three separate occasions and am yet to receive a response. (!)

Some people have a real dedication to music and the independent musicians too and would want to own every collection of that kind of music. The first place they look for their favorite music would be the internet. There, most people choose to buy music rather than download it online from a free source. I truly admire their ethics and support of the independent music industry. :)

If you decide to purchase music legitimately and also join the fight against Piracy, you will realize that there are lot choices there too. Many of the website who offer to sell music are very legal and do not have any copyrights issue. Also, independent musicians are now able to make the cost of your favorite music very affordable and you might see a lot of pleasant surprise at these websites. If you observe my 'Bandcamp' player to the left, you can stream "Mean Business" in it's entirety....as often as you like. You may also download only the tracks that you wish. Should you want the entire album, enter the codeword: thistle at checkout to receive a 50% discount on the entire album



The minute that most people see a website offering their favorite song or music for free, they instantly forget about buying the music and just end up downloading the music directly onto the system, not even considering doing a virus check. It is always advisable to check for viruses before dealing with either buying music or downloading for free so that your computer is not infected with virus. If the option to buy music is the only one set, your worries about viruses infecting your system reduces as all these websites are the legal ones and you choose to buy the music and not expect anything for free.

Because of these few free music download websites, a lot of music sellers end up to be out of business. THIS is the reason why independent musicians object and various governments have now created some violation rules after creating the copyrights of the songs. When you download music from some free website, it is always referred to as Pirated music.
