Downloading it gives you a perfect copy. Recording it off the radio you may not even get the intro or ending.

Do the record companies lose money by me recording a song from the radio? Doubtful
If you keep if forever instead of buying it then the answer is, of course, yes.

Quote:
Given that radio is broadcast across the whole of the UK, that must mean milllllllllllions of pounds are being lost for every song, because potentially, everyone can "download" (record) it and never have to buy the CD!
You may jest but yes, that is correct.

Which is missing the point. If they could not download it they would have to buy it. Or are you trying to claim that people download and watch stuff they wouldn't want to buy?
