The music industry complains that these downloads are 2) (fair) to artists because they stop them earning money from their work. It is 3) (possible) to know exactly how much money artists and record companies are losing because many people who download illegally do not have any money to spend. However, one thing is 4) (certain): overall, the industry is earning a lot less than it earned a few years ago.
  • Record companies pay for adverts telling people that downloading music without paying is as 5) (acceptable) and 6) (honest) as stealing from a shop. If you’re a 7) (loyal) fan, they suggest you buy a 8) (legal) version of song or album from iTunes or another website. But the adverts are 9) (likely) to work because people see the music industry as rich and powerful compared to them. Most do not see sharing music online as 10) (responsible).
  • In fact, the number of illegal downloads is now going down, but that’s not because of the warnings. For people who are 11) (patient) to hear the latest tracks, streaming services like Spotify now offer a simple and 12) (safe) way to enjoy them without the need for downloads at all.
