Downloading music for free helps unheard musicians

As we live in the modern metropolises today, everyday we go to work by the fast moving subways, keep an eye on the latest news by your Iphone, and maybe you haven't noticed that even in the crowded carriage you still just can't help singing to the rhythm from your Ipod. Music can be found not only on our way to work, but also in every corner of our daily life.


Music is really a part of our life. We can't live without music like we can't live without air.
Music is part of our life, which is also someone's profession. Those who make a living by creating beautiful rhythm for us are called as musicians.
Most of what we're listening to nowadays are by those famous musicians, who earn millions by just an album. Songs by the famous musicians can stay on the charts for weeks or even longer. But i have to question here, is the music from them really great? My answer is no. I have to admit that their hard-working is worth respecting, but the popularity of their songs is partly created by the music companies or we can even say that it's the result of a joint effort by the music companies and our mass media. Some times the pops are just written by those unheard musicians but were bought by music companies who later gave those songs to those singers and music bands. This sounds unfair!
So is there anything we can do? Yes! The best idea i can ever come up with is downloading music for free from unheard musicians. Somebody might think that this kind of action will hurt those musicians but the fact is on the contrary. Once music from unheard musicians start being downloaded by people it's kind a advertising which for free to those unheard artists. Obviously, those unheard musicians can't afford expanse required in advertising thus free downloading is also kind a advertising for to those musicians. Moreover if the music that is downloaded for free go popular the musicians will soon get a contract from a music company.
Downloading music from unheard artists for free is not illegal, but a kind action of spreading or sharing wonderful music as well as helping those unheard musicians to get out the jam.
