Why is illegal to download music.

You can still record music from the radio, that is ad driven and the bands are paid for it when their songs are played. When you copy or share music the bands get nothing. As others have said if they make no money then they stop making music, then all you will be sharing/downloading is dead air. Record companies ARE greedy by nature, so share your opinion with them that music is too expensive and that you would buy more if it was cheeper, that might get you somewhere, but saying music should be free to steal is absurd, should people be free to make you work without a paycheck, or refuse to pay you after you work? If you don’t want to pay then go without, stealing because you can is still stealing, trying to justify it is nonsense.

Cause the music buisness is more about the buisness then the music. Simple as really.

drugs are illegal but millilions do them.

because it costs the record labels and the bands millions and millions.
