I have been side tracked from my question that i wanted to answer next about how bands are feeling about my issue because I have found some interestion information.I have just found that starting next week that people are going to be given something known as the “three-strikes” regime. this is when people are selected of wrongfully downloading illegal files offline(not paying). First time caught they will be sent a warning email telling them not to do it again or they will be in trouble.If they ignore that warning and continue to illegally download files off line then they will be suspended of thier internet privliges.And if they continue after that, besides the fact that they're stupid, they will be terminated from the internet useage altogether.France is already doing this. And broadband companies have to enforce this as well. If the companies are caught not enforcing this then they will get in trouuble and possibilly even taken to court."Six million broadband users are estimated to download files illegally every year in this country in a practice that music and film companies claim is costing them billions of pounds in lost revenue annually."(Eliott and national researchers) That is a lot of people coasted a lot of profit loss.Ryan Peterlee,from England brings up a good point. He believes that it is going to be near impossible for this internet piracy to be totally rid of. So he believes that if internet downloading is going to kept illegal then the price of songs and cd's should be dramatically lowered.

Thats an interesting way of handeling illegal downloads, but i dont think it will very effective. People know people with computers and will always be able to illegally download music. Not that i would know from sitting next to you while you do these blogs or anything but it seems like you might be having a hard time finding bands speeking out against illegal download.
this is true. almost im sure 85% of people download music illegally and there's no stopping them. It sounds like your having a tough time finding bands that want to stop illegal downloadHave you tried to find any bands that are freinds with you? that might help a little bit.
