DO THE RIGHT THING*
PLEASE DON'T COPY MUSIC!

Please buy legal CDs and downloads - because musicians don't make a living by composing and producing songs - but only by selling them!

How can anybody do his work if he's not getting payed for it?

Everybody loves some kind of music, adores his favourite musicians and is looking forward to their next productions.
So - to be sure that there will be more beloved music created by that artists in the future - it is necessary to buy their music instead of stealing it away.

Without being payed for their work many of the musicians won't be able to create more great songs - because that not only takes much talent and time, but money, too

Musicians are the people who are responsible for having music on this planet.
This should be a good reason to support them as much as possible!

So, if you like any kind of music, please be sure to provide yourself with music in a legal way - simply as you surely behave with every other product that you would like to own. 

Thank You for being honest and fair!
Behaving that way provides a good feeling and makes the world a better place to be!
Do the right thing!

Taylor Swift wrote why she removed her music from the popular streaming service Spotify:
"Piracy, file sharing and streaming have shrunk the numbers of paid album sales drastically, and every artist has handled this blow differently.”
Swift went on: “Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for.
It’s my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album’s price point is. I hope they don’t underestimate themselves or undervalue their art.”
