i have issues.

..an issues paper that is.
i'm working on my issues paper for my writing class right now.
i'm writing on music pirating and its effects on the music industry, specifically positive effect.
this reminded me of earlier this year when i was so excited that angels and airwaves was letting fans download their cd for free off their website.
i thought this was way cool but didn't really understand why.
so right now i'm trying to figure out why, possibly they understand that when your music gets out, no matter how people download it (legally or illegally), if they like it they tell their friends, they play it in their car when their friends are around, they post it to their facebook, or put it on their blog. its free advertising, and it all starts with when downloading the song.
however, i'm not saying the music pirating/file- sharing should be legal, its illegal for a reason, but it does have positive effects.
so i decided the least i could do for AVA (angels and airwaves) was to promote their free album, in hopes that you'll pass it along, maybe pay for a concert or a sweet t? who knows.
