| Yes and no
We had this discussion as a band the other week in deciding to put our EP we release next week on our website as a free listen. We've only done a run of 200cds, and a digi download. Someone asked would we mind if it was copied etc, and I said no. If they copy it for a friend and that person pays to see us as a show, then it was worth it.
As a consumer I buy vinyl/cds, but I also download, applying the same principles as above.
What grates me is when industry puppets like Lilly Allen stick their oar in. They make pence off a single, but money from playing shows, and tours. The only reason they speak out is because the industry moguls are losing out and it may take a couple of £k off their next contract.

| I've succumbed to downloading more and more in recent years but I never, repeat never, steal music; I hate the casual way that this generation does it and I wish that artists could be better protected.
An iTunes purchase has nowhere near the same thrill as buying an album and I miss holding the artefact in my hands and reading the sleeve notes and lyrics, but it's just too convenient to not do - hear a song on the radio/telly, look them up on iTunes, buy the album; it's frighteningly efficient.

| I buy music but I vary on what I buy it on
For instance a band or label I love I will buy CDs, for instance anything by Manics, Coldplay or Anjunabeats label I will buy on cd
Everything else straight onto iTunes to download
Plus CDs take up so much space!

| I've give up actually purchasing music either hard copies or digital. I have however for the last 12 mnths started to stream all the music I want / listen too.
I currently have a Spotify Premium account however I have recently taken a free trial with Sonys Music Unlimited.
The only issue I have is with the Apps (iPhone / iPad) they are all flawed slightly in one way or another which is a shame because paying a fee per month you'd expect them to be totally polished for music on the go.
Does anybody else use a streaming service? If so which one and how do you find it?

The downside to that is that in ten years time you'll not have a physical version to play. People won't have record collections!
