[QUOTE="plindboe, post: 57047827, member: 27728"] It's amazing how people will oversimplify this issue. Saying that every download is a lost sale is oversimplification in the extreme. Calling it stealing is oversimplification. I'm amazed by how fanatical some people become with these oversimplifications. It's also interesting how the anti-download crowd tends to ignore any promotional effects that downloading can have. I never hear this issue mentioned even though it's likely to have a significant effect on sales. Whether sales are overall harmed or helped by downloading is not as easy of an issue as many people imagine it to be. Personally I don't know, and I think in reality it probably depends on the circumstances, for instance how famous a band/composer is already and how much promotion they have, but the oversimplifications concerning this issue I'd like to see go away.
