I'm a high school student, so typical of my ilk, I illegally download music on a regular basis. As far as morals go, I don't really have a problem with it because I download as a means of finding new music that I may like. For example I just downloaded several songs by The Smiths and The Von Bondies, and I've grown so fond of these groups that I plan on purchasing their albums shortly. Any artist whose music I truly respect and enjoy, will undoubtedly cash in on my purchase of their music. I don't believe that illegal downloading hurts these artists significantly enough for it to be considered an issue for the artists themselves, however the record companies are suffering.
