Real artists would be happy their shit is so popular that someone bothers downloading it :D

you don't need to download these days anyways, its all on youtube, much of it put up by the record companies themselves.

Frank please seed "Big Dutch Cock Men abroad" assap !!!!!!!!!!

I downloaded lots of stuff in the early times I had my broadband connection, but I've felt better over the last few years knowing I'm putting money in the pockets of the people who make the stuff I love.

---and I'm not going to rationalize why some corporation deserves to be ripped off and another doesn't, like one poster here.

They've set a price for their goods. If I don't have the money, I don't steal it.

I use google play a lot

I've paid for everything I use. However, some of the software I've been using is rather old - Cute FTP, photoshop, and ACDSee come to mind. In fact, I had to buy ACDSee again to install it on my new computer here.

I've also paid for all of my music too, either through Rhapsody or iTunes or from my CD collection. Movies too, all movies on DVD.

I sleep fine at night.

So you will decide what you can steal, and how much from anyone then.... I better not leave my wallet lying around your house, in case you decide that I can afford to have you steal it.


The government did pretty much nothing. It was all done by the industry themselves.

Dumbest part of the post. Don't see them going out of business? Seriously? They go broke and go out of business ALL THE TIME! On what planet do you live? Do you have any idea how many acts never get past the first release because free downloads erase any profitability they might have had?

Oh.... wait. You live on the same planet with the people that say that "Porno producers make millions, and they aren't going out of business. It's a huge industry. My stealing content might just make them earn less but they will still make a killing"




I think I give up.....

50 pirates

Obligatory YTCracker video:

Never cried for it .. Smile everywhere :D

Lol! I'd love to know how you get those figures. Just admit you pull it out of your ass already.

I have almost 500 songs on my iphone and I paid for every single one of them. I also paid for all the software on my computers too.

You sound to me like you feel a very slight tickle of guilt and are just looking for support.

Just because its your opinion doesn't mean its right to steal from them.

You don't see musicians or producers going out of business. They just earn less but still make a killing.[/QUOTE]

No, they learn to adapt. People shared single mp3's because most people like individual songs, not entire albums. Apple came up with a great solution to make it easy and cheap for people to legally buy songs which is what saved the music industry.

How weird! I find iTunes the easiest thing in the world to use. Licensing is a little weird for some reason (not all music is available to Canadians, but whatever).

What I wish they would do is integrate the streaming radio service more classy to itunes. Right now I can listen to the radio stations, but I would love to click a song while it was playing, and buy it on the spot.

Chris, are you obsessed with me? Your behaviour is getting scary. It truly is starting to look you spend your day thinking about me. You fucking freak.

I never seen such a thing before. First you scam me and then you start stalking me. You are seriously so fucked up in your head. You are sick. Mentally ill. Fucking stupid lowlife junkie!

I don't complain about pirates but I have never downed a mp3 from the web either.
