Funniest stoner moment

I honestly have to disagree. I have been in a few bands in my time and Ive dealt with the issue of piracy. But in my opinion, if you are going to get into something like the music industry, its only expected. There is always gonna be someone who can find a way to get music or video without paying for it. I download all the time and if it wasnt for downloading, I wouldnt be the musician I am because I honestly cant afford to go out and buy every CD I want. No disrespect, but its honestly people like Cool and myself who support the music industry the most. I may download and get the album for free.....but Ill damn sure pay a ticket or buy a shirt at a live show. If it wasnt for downloading, I wouldnt know who half the bands I listen to are.

Very true. You think that I get Slayer tickets and shirts for free?

"I download all the time and if it wasnt for downloading, I wouldnt be the musician I am because I honestly cant afford to go out and buy every CD I want."

Broadcast Radio, Internet Radio, Pandora, there are millions of ways to listen and still ensure your favorites get their dues. Lack of money in an age of free streaming services is a poor excuse, IMHO. Oh, we have musical college, you know. Get some real music theory behind your current knowledge and you'll be even better.

"I may download and get the album for free.....but Ill damn sure pay a ticket or buy a shirt at a live show. If it wasnt for downloading, I wouldnt know who half the bands I listen to are."

Again, in an age of information at your fingertips, that is a poor excuse. You can find most lyrics simply by typing in the first five words you can recall, and from that you find out the band (or sometimes the original author if it's a cover song.) Oh, and usually after a song is done playing on the radio, the DJ announces the song artist, and sometimes even the track title before they move onto the next set.

"I may download and get the album for free."

The market is driven by album sales, not concerts and shirt sales, as the highest profit margin comes directly from album sales (.10c per pressed master copy sold for $15, factor in shipping, etc...) No album sales = no tours/concerts due to lack of funding money. This is par for the music industry, signed OR independent.

If money was your goal, you probably should have considered a different career. Most musicians I know(and I know quite a few) play for the love of playing music. The odds of a homegrown musician making it big are extremely slim. If you are happy playing live music,people will see that and spread the word. If you're only in it for money, that will be obvious to audiences also.
Good luck with that.
