Trollheart

Well as I say the way I look at it is, back when I were younger I had no choice but to buy the music I wanted. Sites like we have now did not exist, and unless you taped something off the radio or had a mate with the album you had to buy what you wanted. When Audiogalaxy and Napster hit the scene I went crazy, downloading everything I could. Now I use cheaper music sites, Grooveshark, Spotify, YT and torrents to get what I want. I feel for the artists if they're not getting paid what they should but believe I did my bit to support them over 25-odd years, and no longer have the money or the freedom to spend as I did.

Trips into town took place almost every weekend and I would come back with a bag of records or CDs. Now I can't do that so what Spotify et al give the artists doesn't really bother me. That may sound harsh but hey, I'm older now with bills to pay and I can't afford to just buy CDs I think I might like at twenty euro a pop.
