I have found some songs that I can hear good samples in for the hip hop beats I create, I want to download these songs from youtube so that I can mix them and see if the samples are good, instead of paying 99 cents for a song that I won’t every use it turns out not to be mixable. Is this wrong to download these songs because I would certainly buy them if they turned out to be good for my purposes and the original authors could make sweet royalties if I become the next Biggie Smalls. Anyway it just seems like a strange conundrum because sometimes you are better off if people steal your music. For example Chris Brown’s Forever was used illegally in a video and then it became really popular for a second time and they made a lot of money from repeat chart performance. Anyway what do you think, better to download illegally or miss the opportunity?
