what's your opinion on downloading music without paying? (67)
RadioheadFan123Rochester, New York USA115 Threads 28 Polls 471 PostsWhat is your opinion on free music downloading? Technically it's illegal but should record companies complain so much about it? They're making a lot of money (at least the major ones are.) So what's the big deal? Should it matter of someone downloads a song, likes it and then pays for it by buying it on i-Tunes or someone downloads or burns a CD and then buys it because he or she likes it?

I plead the 5th on the grounds that I do not want to incriminate myself a few thousand times.

Technically, when you download songs legally, you are buying a license. If you read the fine print, technically, they reserve the right to revoke the license.

i think its lame, record stores are dying off all over the country, im not talking about the malls and big chains but the small independant stores, if a person is truelly INTO music collecting these are the places where you will find those cool finds that you dont get at the big chains, and those of us who still care we need to have the physical article, thats part of the collecting, not to mention the artists whos livings are at jeopardy, most music artists hardly make it, im not talking about the big top 40 artists that make up maybe 10 percent of the market but the others who dont sell in the millions and have to tour non stop in order to eek out a living. for me im not for it.

That's true.
Yet some of us don't have the money to go out and buy the actual CD though.------ This thread is Archived ------

I can't afford a fast computer (this one is 5 or 6 years old) and I'm on dialup, so I guess I'm good

I have paid for music as singles, LP's, reel to reel, Casettes, CD's and each time investing in the hardware to play the new stuff cos they stop making parts to repair outmoded equipment
and now they want me to pay yet again for MP3's - they have been treating the buying public as puppets and fools......... the joke is on them this time Im afraid and whats more, I think its about flippin time it backfired
