I understand your argument but why should I pay for it when it is available on YouTube and SoundCloud for free? I almost feel my payment is the views that I give the song. If I enjoy it I will add it to a playlist, with ~30 followers, so the artist is getting a larger audience. I can't understand how it is considered stealing when anyone can listen it to free on YouTube or SoundCloud, what is the difference between downloading it and streaming it?

If you don't think that musicians should get paid for their work, than I understand your point of view. Musicians don't make any money from the extra views unless someone decides to buy their music.
