Not to get into a debate about this since I'm heading out in 2 minutes, but why do people think streaming an album from questionable sources (a la grooveshark) is ok but downloading it illegaly for a listen isnt?
I'll admit to downloading albums to try them out if I have no idea what to expect. I could always youtube or grooveshark an album, but then I cant take it anywhere. If after a couple listens I feel like I want to keep listening to it, I buy it. I usually prefer physical CDs, but ichunes has gotten a fair amount of my money as well. If I dont like it much, I will keep it on my computer in case I change my mind, but I just wont listen to it.
Anyone think thats wrong? In either case the artist gets my money if I like it and doesnt if I dont.

This line is about as blury as a pair of glasses with Crisco smeared on the lenses. As a general rule of thumb, do what HG says.

When I think of "downloading" words like Torrent, Napster and Limewire (dated?) come to mind. I do not consider buying an album from ichunes wrong or illegal pillaging. Nor do I find something like Grooveshark out of the question. Why? I don't know. But downloading an album just to avoid buying it, in my eyes, is not ethical.

These sentences basically sum up why Groovesharking isn't the same as downloading. I think it's sexually understandable to want to taste test albums, but why should you get the benefit of being able to not just taste it but eat the whole goddamn thing up without paying for it. Not being able to take it with you or have it on your computer to listen to at any given time is the entire point of streaming and why it differs from downloading. You don't own it unless you buy it.

Listen, I'm no angel 100% of the time either, but I'm not gonna fool myself and justify it's not stealing if I download or it's the same as streaming. It's not.

I'm just poor. If I didn't download anything I wouldn't be listening to any music at all.
Once I get a good job though I'm going to start a vinyl collection.

I just use Slacker Radio and it basically allows me to listen to what I want, legally, and none of what I don't want. Seems to work well for me.

Seeing them close out the mainstage at the Gorge would be religious.

Fair enough. One of the main reasons I prefer to download and album over streaming is because my clock radio has better speakers than my laptop so I dont really get the full sound unless I throw it on my ipod or burn a CD for the car. I suppose I could plug headphones into my laptop but for some reason I never do this.

You can listen to entire albums on grooveshark, in order and everything. In most cases I'm pretty sure the actual file you download is exactly the same as the one on grooveshark. I'm not even sure that grooveshark is 'legal' in the sense that the artist or record lable is ok with the songs being on there, so I still dont really see much of a difference between downloading and streaming for a couple listens is much different.
I'm not trying to justify downloading, I'm just curious why streaming is generally regarded as fine while downloading is the devil.

Because everyone wants to justify their own free music listening. End of story.
