Hello. I'm Greg Solomon.

[roysensei]

so what, he can watch whatever the fuck he wants. This video is still posted on youtube, anyone can view it, and he should be able to express his opinion.

thnk you captain obvious!!!

As an aside - the discussion of the quality of the physical CDs (Fuji vs Memorex etc) has no bearing on the quality of the audio it holds. CD audio is a digital format. The only difference in quality measurable would be the longevity of the disc, scratch resistance and so on.

I love stealing music, but this guy is just wrong. Man up and admit that your screwing people over, just like the rest of us

[Azlaier]

@MrSomecrackhead Um, no. If you create and own a television show, it would piss you off too if people started downloading it for free, cheating you out of your hard-earned money. Whether the company already makes a lot of money on it or not has nothing to do with the ethics behind charging for it. You're justifying theft. There's no excuse for theft.

[Azlaier]

It's NOT ethical to steal. If you work hard on creating music, and then have people stealing it online, you're going to be pissed off. The record companies and corporations have a right to be pissed off.

[User123788]

When you refer to greedy multi-million dollar corporations who don't need any more money...are you aware that record labels aren't making any money...?

[marshallruddock]

You'd ask Joe Blow for some coke.

[MrSomecrackhead]

To try and say it is unethical to download what they are already being way over paid for is just complete stupidity. You don't have to pay for every seperate show you watch on television, they've made their money from ads for ever now, it's what is happening on the internet now too. But since most people are so easily manipulated they will keep charging you any way they can on top of that. And people actually try say its unethical. Straight up fucking retards is what they are obviously.

[MrSomecrackhead]

For all of you who arn't to into how the internet and stuff works now, Artists are paid by advertisements such as the ones you see on the vevo videos, these ads directly give them/ their manager so much money per view. Do you wonder why 10 songs are being released from a single fucking album now-a-days? Because each song makes it's own money, it isn't even by per c.d. And as you can all see they are still having no troubles making a living off of it. cont..

@wouterW24 90 years? Especially with video games this is jarring, in which the rights are still being controlled for some future re-release to make even more money, while you can't buy a game for years? I rather have thing becoming open and free to share after necessarily profit has been dealt with. The current long term is in favor of those who make tons of money already.
