online stores selling "DIGITAL downloads"

what's so uber-advanced about a "DIGITAL download" over your random leeching of soulseek? do they come with extra bytes on top and hexadecimal cream?

Supposedly, you're paying for royalties the same way you would do be paying if you bought a CD.

However, it depends on the store you're talking about.

usually they buy the rights to distribute the song so the label gets actual money for a sale of their work.

i really must start writing in a more captain obvious kind of way.

wouldn't "legal downloads" be a little bit more correct? like, "digital downloads" is a little redundant

digital means its the actual render from the wav instead of say, a rip from a vinyl

Supporting the artist ....

You chose a very bad thing to compare digital download shops to
If you had asked why pick these shops versus CDs or vinyl I think it would have made more sense
