Re: Why is music piracy so bad?

As an example of what "piracy" can do, I recently downloaded three things:

Shakira - Unplugged
Shakira - Off the record documentary
J-LO - Lets get loud live show

Now don't laugh at me but I enjoyed those so much I went to Amazon and bought the DVDs because I wanted a proper "real" version I could keep forever.
at your choices, you see im all for free stuff but if i see a good artist with a good album or song i will buy.

but others dont

so here lies the problem, how to convince people to buy rather than 'obtain' for free, i suppose with cd prices coming down slightly, the internet, and general mail order prices are better than a few years ago.

now that the digital age is here with regards to the legal downloads competition is there in the sector, but it can still be sometimes cheaper to buy a CD rather than download.
