You just missed the gosh darned point, by golly - that music is free. Intellectual property in general is free. It no longer has any monetary value. |

unlike being a call center drone, which is worth $12/hour...what if aphex has to work in a call center like me!! how will i sleep at night if his life sucks as bad as mine! he ei so talented! |

i find it fucking selfish of people to think they should be able to make a living off of art. if rdj worked in a call center i bet we might actually be hearing a lot of those super secret amazing awesome mind blowing tracks he keeps claiming he has tucked away somewhere because he wouldnt be so fucking obsessed with people ripping him off. |

i was just kidding though, i think nobody should have to worry about "making a living" and i don't stay up at night worrying about these artist ninnies any more than i worry about anybody else whose life is wasted in this bullshit world |

i think people mistake my over use of the word "fuck" as antagonism rather than the fact that i just fucking love the word. |

lets get introduced to the concept of vs theft of goods. it is still a form of theft, like plugging into the neighbors cable or getting on their wi-fi. the fact that its not a physical item is irrelevant. scalping tickets is illegal, insider trading is illegal, all sorts of things people can do but society has deemed unlawful because they take advantage of the system and negatively impact others. intellectual property can have value because the law says it does; the people say it does. i'm not saying that i don't think some degree of file sharing is ethical and reasonable to a certain point, but the mass distribution of entire albums with no intention to ever purchase is criminal and that is how black and white that is. sorry to ruffle feathers, but lets crack this enchanted illusion of justification we have here and at least be honest and say that a lot of people just don't give a shit. |

nothing beats the tangible version of an album anyways. most of us have jobs right? i download, but i buy my fair share too |

That is some very nice self righteous language, but it doesn't change the fact that what was once scarce is now in such ridiculous oversupply that it's a chore to sift through it. |

this thread really delivers. i never said anything about artists shouldnt be paid for their work, or shouldnt be able to make a living from their work. my comparison was to some artists making millions of dollars for such bs (campitalism/consumerism/advertising, instead of their actual output/creation)...vs people who do things to push community forward (civil engineering, product design for real-world issue solving), etc. i think they should all be paid, but sometimes the massive fluctuations between rich and poor artists is quite mindblowing, innit? |

Exactly! Starvation might even enhance desirable traits in an artist, just as it brings out the cheekbones on a comely wench or the noble anatomy of a pedigreed dog. |

agreed! you know that it used to be legal to enslave people? the law isn't always on the moral side. |

you're making the world so much better with your illegal downloading |

if discovering new music and making it available to others is good, then hell yeah i am. |
||||||||

your arguments are shallow (i pirate as well but support too) |
||||||||

aahrrr your a pirate hamster, disguised as a rich magician with wand type spliff. you've let your disguise slip, now walk the plank! |

have you not seen the seventeen posts i've made where i suggest supporting the artist as supplement? yeah i don't do it often because i frankly can't afford it (i can barely make rent), but in that case it's not like i would have been buying the cds if they weren't freely available anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay i didn't read that, but i don't agree with your second paragraph not us not let the love for music tear us apart though my disguise is, freqy, i poked a hole in my eyepatch |

i read through that article, and i agree on some points. people should still buy music if they like it after downloading it, and not expect an artist to live off keychain sales. i've never put my time, heart and soul into a keychain. plus how many of us are into band merch? i don't think i even have a shirt with a band logo anymore. yea the riaa sucks, but we don't listen to music on major labels mostly. in the cases of most artists i really like, i generally want to support the labels they are on as well as the artist. anyway, there is no reason to put it all off on the failure of the industry to properly adapt. when i got most of my music by buying cds, i only usually ever bought a couple per month. i think most people can afford that so, if they download 50 and think 1 is the best, just buy that 1. then people continue to support the artists and labels we like and it maintains the need for competition, because the best artists are the ones who still get sales. |

That's a convenient redefinition of 'piracy' you've got yourself, there. |

Having an anti-piracy debate is the same as having an anti-glacier debate. |
