nahhh, theres not gonna be as much pirates anymore cuz the zune hd makes it extremely easy to buy songs cuz their subcribtion base is so good. anyways.............this marketing thing is genius. not even mac fanboys can say shit about it.

wrong

Zune Pass! is "optional" deal. for $15 you can download "any song - as much as you like" (eg. full zune immediately). but you can listen them for 30day after last sync (to check that you still in subscription)

Plus you can keep 10 song "forever" in non drm mp3.

If you don't like the deal. You can buy music traditional way for $1. non drm mp3.

@put4558350 ...but in the end it costs 30 grand.

[polkaspotsss]

@put4558350 Yes, but you have to subscribe every single month for the rest of your life to keep those DRM tracks. Considering you only get 10 songs a month, and 120 gb can hold 30,000 songs, while you're paying 15 dollars a month, that brings you to a grand total of... $45,000 to fill up your zune with DRM free tracks. They're both shitpiles.

but there are definitely more concerts and the tours get bigger. also, the number of bands and productions increases by a lot, adding productions from other countries as everythings going worldwide now, you have to decide what cd to buy because you cant buy all. at least for me it's so.and in that case i prefer to support small bands.i figure thats also part no ones going diamond. and yeah, they would earn more money, but they have more than enough to produce well. they just go mainstream.

[yummdiddy]

your figures are made up lol...concerts were just as big 10 years ago as they are now...

[outsideheaven]

u cant judge by just looking at todays cd sales. e.g. as the access to free music is easy, the possibility for an average citizen to amplify his musical horizon is much bigger which improves concert visits to bands he would probably not even know. also, about 80% of the illegaly downloaded music would not be bought even if there werent p2p systems. so when they talk about damage in numbers, u have to divide by 5 to get the actual number. u want more?

[yummdiddy]

everything you said sounds like a mac commercial... you obviously dont realize the percentage of people with issues on pc and mac are the same...its just there 10 of you and millions of pc's

[yummdiddy]

pirates do hurt the music industry...look at sale pre p2p and post and tell me why no one is going diamond anymore

[outsideheaven]

yyeah right, they seem to have shit in your head as well..

not that i actually support that but i also don't like to support the music industry..downloaders don't do any damage, the managers, bands and producers are millions of dollars heavy and i guess they just swim too much in their money to make good music. the major labels acutally force bands to adapt their music to the mainstream so any creativity gets lost out there.
