For and against - Paula Vera

For and against: Do you buy music or do you pirate it?

Its clear that some people can't live without music, it's a part of the day for others or even a escape from real world. But how do we get all this music? There are many options and they have advantages and disadvantages.

On the one hand, people think that paying for music is a way to support their favorite artists, otherwise, they have fewer options to feel closer to them because buying a song it's more cheaper than going to a concert or buying their merchandising. Other advantage is that the smallest artists will receive what they deserve for their effort, therefore, they can improve their songs quality.

On the other hand, some people find that paying for music ends being too expensive if you really like it or enjoy it because artists won't put their songs for 15cts or at €1. Furthermore, people think that they couldn't discover new styles or artists because it would't be worth paying for something which ended up not being as good as you thought.

To sum up, paying for listening music means that some people will not be able to pay for it and they just could enjoy music in certain moments. I strongly think that music changes our lives, it can match with our feelings and make us feel better so it's a good thing that we can get it easily, even so, the option of paying for it it's still there in case you want to support an artist.
