what do you think about downloading ayu's illegal stuff?

[Chibi-Chan]

I buy music as long as it is available in the EU (and of course I also own Ayu CD's because I like to collect her stuff). I think there is no problem when you download music that isn't available in your country. I mean, most western fans woudn't even buy from time to time a j-pop release when they would not download most of the time. Because western fans came to know j-pop because of illegal downloads and for western fans it is way to expensive to buy all those CD's physically and we have no chance to download it legal. I can't go to amazon and download a j-pop release.

Most of Ayumi's music IS on iTunes though. Just saying.
I don't buy it from iTunes though since I don't support iTunes, the artist only gets 10% from them and 90% goes to Apple. Digital sales are very unfair when it comes to that, anyways, almost all the stores take a LOT for themselves and only give little to the artists/labels.
