first let me say that purchasing music is not cheap.  that being said i think it's just plain wrong when people download music for free.  unless it is clearly stipulated that there is no charge for music, it's only fair that someone who is going to get enjoyment from music pay a price.

It is absolutely understandable that purchasing music can be expensive, and it is indeed wrong to download music without compensation to the artist or label. However, sometimes people will obtain music without paying, out of necessity rather than choice. For instance, some people may download music illegally due to a lack of access to affordable music. This can especially be the case for those living in places with limited access to music streaming or a restrictive distribution model. Additionally, some people are able to access free music through websites who have made it available legally without any payment being required. In these cases, although it is not the ideal scenario, the person obtaining the music without payment has no choice, as the music could not be accessed in any other way.
