It its a local artist, I sample the record from a download, and buy the CD if its good. Most of the foreign acts I like to listen to are not available locally. Download all music for free.

I'd like to believe that your readers are niche and manages/afford to buy. =) Also, I suggest adding an option #6 and even #7 #6 I don't buy CDs, I just listen to them online #7 I don't buy CDs or download music, I just listen to them through the radio In my upcoming 2008 face-to-face survey, I'll also be asking the music question and hopefully give a glimpse on consumer's attitude on music purchases/download/copying.

#6 I don’t buy CDs, I just listen to them online

In my upcoming 2008 face-to-face survey, I’ll also be asking the music question and hopefully give a glimpse on consumer’s attitude on music purchases/download/copying.

First Step: Download free online Second Step: If I like it and find it worth buying Third Step: Then I buy a legit copy Otherwise, I will not buy, and 98% of the time, I also delete the copy because, well, I don't like it... it sucks in other words (so why keep it in the first place?) If the music is good, then I will buy it. I buy original/legit copies not because I want to support the writers, singers, authors, actors, etc. I buy it because it impressed it, I like it, and it is worth it. So, if they want people to buy legit copies, then they must make it sure that it is worth it. When it comes to Movie DVDs, 98% of the time, I only buy legit copies. When it comes to downloading movies, I'd rather spend my time downloading movies that are not being sold locally. Legit movies are worth it. Now TV series.. same thing. Worth it? Ill buy it. If Im not a big fan, I just copy (not even download it). These NGOs should define the reasons why people do not buy legit copies of their products, from there, they can tackle the problem more correctly and effectively. If they keep blaming "free downloads", they will ultimately go down. We all know for a fact that there are legit free downloads out there made by other people which are as good as theirs or even better. When it comes to Music Albums here’s how I do it.

First Step: Download free online
Second Step: If I like it and find it worth buying
Third Step: Then I buy a legit copy

Otherwise, I will not buy, and 98% of the time, I also delete the copy because, well, I don’t like it… it sucks in other words (so why keep it in the first place?)

I never answered the question: I borrow a someone else cd then rip as MP3. Masma ba yun? Well ethically OO pero its not my fault somebody created applications that can you use for this. Medyo malawak ang topic na ito. If ripping the cd to mp3 is illegal then why do we have mp3 players? If sharing files through P2P is ileegal then we all should stop lending our friend our CDS and DVDs kasi the same result lang naman yun eh. In the end, Morality and Ethics nalang ang basihan natin if what were doingis right or wrong. if your fast enough you can a legit album on some site for free, as I stated above the prices of some albums increases as they become popular. hehe.

I think the music industry REALLY messed up about a decade ago. Instead of figuring a way to work with napster, they sued it and shut it down. Everyone went to decentralized, peer-to-peer software and all control was lost. Not to mention the outrageous price of music CD's. It's hard to feel too sorry for artists who drive around in Ferraris and complain about how little money they are making.

Sa amiestreet.com I saw one album reaching 20USD kasi sikat na sikat na yung album sa site.

Another site that have shown the future of digital music distribution would be amiestreet.com. The site contains mostly of indie and underground artists but some well known artists have already agreed with amiestreet so that their album would be sold there for free! The site lets the customers download their album in MP3 format with no DRM protection for free but as the albums gains popularity the prices increases.
