How many songs have you downloaded for free? Lets see what people have to say.

This question is being raised based on other posts about lawsuits agaist "file sharing" people.

It is intended to narrow the responses down to an actual number. So that we can all see the scope of what has been happeneing to the recording industry.

Please be completely honest about the number of songs you have downloaded. I can hardly wait to see your response, thanks

Less than 30. What I liked, I bought, and what I didn't, I deleted.

I don't know the actual number. 30 gigs worth though.

I've got 10 or so albums worth, but I tend to just prefer buying CDs. I use the file sharing stuff to listen to an album before I go out an buy it. Saves me from buying a shitty album with one or two good songs on it.

Probably about 500 or so. I'm now working my way back through them, to decide to either buy legit copies, delete, or keep. Mostly cleaning out the illegal stuff.

Oh, then I have a whole bunch of legitimately downloaded free music... which could absolutely never be sold. Try out freespeechforsale.com and dictionaraoke.com for a few laughs.

I have never downloaded a song. I don't feel ripping off an artist is my right. The record company - er, artist - deserves every penny they work for.

I really don't know... All I know is I stopped buying CD's a while ago. When there's an album I want I wait until I know someone who has it and I rip and/or burn it. I don't really download a lot of music.

I have maybe 200 songs... and those are either singles that I downloaded, or friends CDs that I've ripped. So I guess I have probably 150 downloaded songs.

I'm actually a bit surprised how much people have downloaded. No wonder the RIAA complains so much. I've probably downloaded 60 over 4 years. I'm not particular to my music, just load up Music Match and whatever is on I listen to. I can see 2-3 thousand on computers of music nuts. I guess it's just me because without file sharing or online radios I probably would have bought at most 6 cd's over the span of 4 years.

Maybe 50...probably more around 20-30. I have 400 MP3s, and most of the songs I d/l are songs from CD's I already own, or from Cassettes I had bought long time ago.

The one's I have d/l that I don't have CD's for are songs that are impossible to find to buy (Counting Crows - Einstein on the Beach...What f'n CD is that on anyways???) and some songs from one-hit wonders who don't deserve my money for a whole CD with one good song on it.

10,950 on my hard drive
About 3 large underbed cases weighing in at 20+ pounds each of CDs

But I do buy t-shirts, concert tickets, posters and stuff from the ones I like.

EDIT: I weighed myself, and then with one of the boxes. It is 25 pounds, so however many songs fit into 75 pounds of cds (plus jewel cases)
