It's cute that you care, but money is a lot better spent on merchandise from the band's store than on records if you're trying to financially support the artist.
“Your job is not to sell music. Your job is to sell merchandise, and your music is just advertising for your merchandise.”
If I were to rationalize it, I would say “stealing music” is essentially “stealing advertising”.
(By the way, I don’t think you should be downvoted so much. I believe in good-faith discussion, even if I disagree)
I'll buy a vinyl from the merch booth, maybe. But I have no reason to purchase digital content. And I certainly don't feel bad about entertainment piracy.
I play music. I don't care if people copy my music and share it. Every musician I personally know feels the same.
If you want a cloud service that keeps your CDs and doesn't fiddle with them it'll have to be an encrypted S3 bucket.
My perspective on this was formed when I sold a chemistry program I wrote on a TI-85 to another student in 1997. It felt ridiculous to charge a lot for something I still had after selling it so I charged $1. Inadvertently beating Apple to the $1 mobile app market by 8 years, but I digress...
Access to a physical item isn't the only reason we need something like copy right.
We also need it to successfully amortize the creation cost of things across many buyers, else you'd have to sell copy for the full creation cost else it'd become a first mover disadvantage.
