This is not a question to you guys, it is a question that has been posed to me. But then I would like to know what to answer that will make sense to anyone who will ask the same in future.
It all started when I was waiting in the car and suddenly a song occurred to me, I fired up the Flyte app on my phone and found it and got it for Rs.8/- Later that day, I played the song to my friends and told them, I had just bought the song, how cool is that. This happened with 3-4 people on seperate occasions that they asked the same question as to, why did I buy it when I can get it for free. I just said, I don't know, because I have money or I like buying stuff. It was all sarcastic or trying (I know) to be funny. But I never gave a serious answer 'coz I don't know what to say.
What would be an appropriate response?
I would also like to share that one of my friends is a professional singer in the Kannada music industry. Since I do not understand the language, I mostly just enjoy the tune but it is thorough proffessional and meant for movies. Even this person asked me the same question as to why I would buy music CDs when I can download them. I was quite stumped. I could only utter that they are better quality.
I thought it would be more obvious to her, since she can't make a living no music due to the rampant piracy in our country and has to resort to some IT job.
The world is an interesting place and the people in it, more so.
