Illegal downloading deprives original composers of a fee for their work. Musicians and composers often only have their intellectual property and output available for sale- they do not produce goods - rather than simply produce ideas or performances. To obtain copies of musical works in an unauthorized manner is comparable to stealing goods from a retail store.

If musicians and composers are not paid for their efforts, then they become reluctant to engage in this type of work and ultimately society is the poorer for that loss. We all need to support musicians and composers by paying a fair price for services so that we encourage them to continue giving us pleasure.
