I'd rather download a crap album for free than pay for it.

I'll pay for good music.

Life's a bitch :o:

Well, if I want to listen regularly to some obscure music that would normally cost me $200.00 because only X number of CDs were made and it was never put on ITunes, what other feasible way is there besides DLing it by whatever means I choose? Also, what if the band I like doesn't come to tour where I live and local places don't carry any of their albums in stock? Very annoying circumstances wouldn't you say?

And really, when you think about it, it's actually quite a wonder that MORE people aren't DLing music without paying right now, since for the most part if you have WinRAR and the ability to type in "Band+album+blogspot" on Google, you can download and extract almost any album you want within seconds/minutes.

Amen. I own the discographies of a lot of my favorite bands, but when someone says "hey check these guys out," I'm not going to drop $15 on the recommendation of some dude on the internet.

In a lot of cases with quite a few obscure bands you only have to type in the bands name to find a download link because someone upping an obscure album on a blog is the only attention these bands have had in decades.

Take Arctic Monkeys for example. They encouraged people to share their demos over the net and such and as a result they had a HUGE debut. Now they're insanely successful.

I probably would buy more often when I start seeing these:

Good point.:clap:

So yeah file sharing is ok...if you are willing to pay for it...like iTunes or one of those sites...sure!


(I still prefer having the CD though.):)

I have one more

11 More songs that sound EXACTLY the same as the single

LOL, truth hurts^^
