  • You really changed my view on filesharing. I still don't intend to go torrenting every album I can, as I buying and collecting CDs is my main hobby, but I certainly won't look down on anyone who goes the download route anymore.

  • lol yeah don't think I download everything. I just bought rerelease copies of Appetite for Destruction and the Velvet Underground & Nico on vinyl, and I preordered the vinyl version of the special edition of Ten. I'm also waiting for an imported CD of Sound About You by FuzzFace. :)

  • The problem is that with file-sharing, if the band doesn't give exclusive permission for a torrent to be put up, then it's illegal. And since the music is partially owned by the record companies, if the band comes in after-the-fact and says it's okay, the record company can basically say "fuck that we're suing their ass" and there isn't much the band can do about it.

  • It might be illegal, but just because something's illegal doesn't make it wrong.

  • you're right, making musicians starve isn't wrong.

  • The point is that it's not making them starve. Most musicians have other jobs, and they should since making music is not a job. The only artists that ever complain about filesharing are the ones who are already vastly rich. You'd be hard pressed to find independent and local bands against filesharing.

  • i myself download albums of some songs off of them so i can get a taste for the album. I'm one of those people who like to have the physical album... its odd i know but i like to have them. so i buy the albums eventually when i have the money!

  • Your comments about Madonna and Dr Dre are so true.

  • Seconded. As long as the original cd was bought, any further copies made by the owner of the original cd are also owned by the cd owner as the cd should be considered his property.

    What most people don't realize in today's society is that we don't actually own the cd that we buy. We own the right to play that cd on any media playing device that we wish. I don't know about you or anyone else, but when I buy something, it's mine. I don't care what the law says, what I deem moral counts.

  • i completely agree with you

  • its over, the pirate bay is dead

  • my belief is that if someone bought something and then put up a fileshare on a site like the pirate bay then thats fine but if no one bought the track to begin with and say stole the album from a store or something than put it up the artist didnt get that initial about 10$ which i feel is wrong

  • dude dr.dre is one of the greatest hip hop producers of all time

  • Dr.Dre is good but he is kind of dumb. I really think you are right! NINE INCH NAILS ROCKS!!!!!
