[Alt Press: No Money, Mo’ Problems: Why even successful bands struggle financially](http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/no%5Fmoney%5Fmo%5Fproblems/?ref=drewshannon.net "http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/no_money_mo_problems/")

I think this article does a good job of articulating my feelings when someone says that they download all of their music instead of buying it.

Please support the artists you enjoy so that they can keep making music (and, selfishly but unrelated, so I can still have a job!).
