Sharing and copying deleted music

Like most places, opinion here seems divided on the
morality of sharing and copying music.

I guess this question is more directed as those who think
filesharing and whatever is wrong. Does your opinion change
when it's music that can't actually be bought, no matter how
much you want to, such as with limited and deleted
releases?

filesharing is good.. without it i'd still be buying
mainstream shit only.. it made me discover more music,
addicting me to it -> buying more stuff

this has no point really.. sorry no answer to yer question

I don't think file sharing is wrong....and I think that
would be the legal stand point.....its whether or not the
content is copyright isn't it? That being said, I use
Kazaa....as do most people probably

I can understand people being against filesharing, but with
limited items, artists are asking for it.

Not literally of course, but you know...

oh exactly. my mate and i tripped over auetchre by accident
back in the napster days and its changed our taste, and our
own music permanently :)

and ive gone on to buy a number of autechre releases. its
all good.

as for deleted material.. ive said elsewhere.. my mate and i
have tapes of our own material that we dont want people to
here, cause we think its shithouse :)

but you know, im in the queue to find boards old material
cause im such a crazed fan.. i think its high praise rather
than any sort of insult.

You read a review or hear someone talk about or you're just
curious. Then you download it. If good, you buy the music,
if you don't like it, you delete it (or save it for a second
chance or so).

interesting thing... never thought of that... but now that
you say it... if there wouldn't be filesharing, i wouldn't
even bother aphex cause i can't buy anything of him in
poland

i like file-sharring as a rrule.
most youngerr people don't have 14 pound a week to spend on
CD's, lowerr the prrice of CDs dramatically and I may
develop a prroblem with filesharring.

it's just another sad indictment of today's society that
file-sharing is becoming more and more prevelant. People
seem to get a buzz out of getting something for nothing but
they don't seem to realise the effect it is having on the
music industry. I don't steal from shops and I don't steal
from musicians. As a musician, I'm fucking pissed off that
my music is being downloaded for nothing. I have worked
fucking hard for years making music and all I want is the
monetary recognition i deserve. You are all thieves!

of my income goes on music.

first off, i pay for my music in general.

let's say that i am a musician. i think that i would be
pretty happy that people were listening to me whether or not
they bought my record. just the fact that people cared to
hear what i have worked hard on would please me.

i think a lot of artists are money hungry. they whine whine
whine and feel sorry for themselves when they sell fewer
records than britney spears, and then blame mp3s. it just
seems like a joke to me. they should consider themselves
lucky that they are able to do what they love in the first
place, whether or not they have to keep a day job.

i am annoyed when i buy a shitty cd. i am annoyed when i
have to buy a greatest hits comp for one new song. mp3s
solve both problems.
