If you operate an unlicensed MP3 site, you are violating copyright law. Uploading music on the Internet doesn't hurt anybody. In fact, it's promotional and free advertising. Its up to the artist and copyright owner to decide how their music will be heard, distributed and promoted. Furthermore, about 15 percent of record sales support all new and emerging artists who are being recorded.
Fewer sales mean less money for new music, and to a emerging artist, every new sale counts.
