How old are you?
18
Have you ever illegally downloaded a music file?
Absolutely
If so then when did you start downloading music illegally? And how? (napster, limewire, various other ways)?
Probably around 13ish using Limewire at first.
Question pertaining to a time before you ever pirated a music file:
How many albums were you buying, on average, per month? (Whether from paid download services such as Itunes, or buying cds from stores)
None.
How often did you go to concerts?
Never.
Questions pertaining to if you answered yes to downloading music illegally
How many albums or songs are you downloading illegally, on average, per month?
Easily 5-20 songs a month.
How many albums or songs are you buying, and if so why do you choose to buy them when you can simply download them for free?
I don't buy them, ever.
Roughly how many different artists are featured in your collection, how many different genres?
Over 50, from all different types of genres
How often do you go to concerts?
Don't.
Would you say you listen to music more now than you did before illegal downloads?
Yeah.
How acceptable is piracy to you?
It's not, but I mainly blame the ignorance of the Music industry and how they won't change for the users needs.
Why do you believe piracy is not seen as stealing by many people?
I'm not sure. Piracy is stealing any way you slice it.
Do you think piracy has, in anyway, changed the music industry for the better?
Slighty, It seems like they're trying to change how music is bought, but it's still no where where it needs to be.
