I have this problem you could say, but whenever I find a neat, original band and I put their song in my info or something, somebody always steals it. Not only that, they think they know all about the band because they know part of one song. I know this is very selfish of me to think one band is labeled "mine", but I can't help it. One of my friends stole 10 bands that I once liked. Every song that I listened to, she went off and downloaded. I know most of you are going to say "well take it as a compliment, she likes your music", but the thing is I don't take it as a compliment at all, it's quiet annoying. Does anyone have any advice on this? Do you think that what I'm doing is as stupid as I think it is?

I don't think it's stupid. I know what you mean - when you find a new band, it's cool that only you know them and stuff. It kinda takes the 'magic' away if everyone knows them and starts singing their songs and stuff and pretends like they've been a big fan all along.
As for advice...
I would either -
1. Put a really crappy song from a really dumb band into your info (like...a line from the Tweenies song and stuff, only don't say who it's by) and see if your friend copies it, or
2. Just say to my friend, 'hey, it's cool that you like the same bands as me and stuff, but have YOU got any bands you could recommend to me? It's just I'm a bit bored of being the trendsetter and having everyone copy me, I'd like some new ideas off other people for a change.' Not only would that tell her that you don't like her copying you, but it would encourage her to think for herself and form some opinions of her own too.
Blessed Be,
