i mean - now that mp3's of warp are official, they can't find out where you have them from right ? now i can tell everybody, that i haven't downloaded my files from slsk, but bought them on bleep... kinda stupid don't you think ? |

No, not stupid, "trusting". Warp never would prosecute people for having a few mp3s of their tracks. Smaller labels rely on goodwill of the fanbase (I know warp are a big indie label, but they're still small in the grand scheme of things) if they started sueing people left right and centre a la the RIAA, pretty soon there'd be no one left to buy their records. I think it's very decent of them- the fact that they treat you with that level of trust and respect makes you less inclined to try to screw them over. |

huh? i didnt get it. |

Agreed. Can you imagine that Warp would put any energy into hunting down people with illegal mp3's? Never. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
anyway, RIAA is only prosecuting for sharing not for possesion. at least that was my understanding. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
btw, big records companies have done the same thing. |

kudos2warp4bleep it's nice to see a record label embracing change instead of resisting it with everything they can. |

Which big record companies have their entire back catalogue downloadable as mp3 at a fraction of the price? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, not entire catalogue but are selling mp3's...but it's the same thing regarding the initial question. |

if you mean sharing mp3's that you just paid 1.35 for, thats STooPID! for some reason i find it worse to pay for mp3's, thn share them with a million people that didnt pay, then torip some tracks of a cd and share. i dont know why i look at it like that. maybe cause i feel like with bleep, its like HEY FUCKER, GO spend a dollar and get it yourself. you dont actually have to leave your house, and spend the 15 bucks for that perticular record. thats the main thing for most people that D/L i think. conveience. But when someone can go an pay a buck or two and D/L an mp3 just ike i did! i aint sharing that shit! |

good one ceri - but that's still a bit weird for me. i mean, when someone got internet, then i supose he'll donwload it for free. if he don't he will buy the cd. another thing - when someone has the money to pay for the mp3's, i think he'll rather go to the shop and buy the original one with cover, artwork etc. my understanding. |

there's a quote from warp, something along the lines of "we don't treat our customers like criminals" |
||||||||
|

|
|
well, ive bought mp3's of bleep. i D/L off SLSK and i spend at least 100 dollars a week at the record store. so long as i get my music, i'll take it however i can get it. preferably "real" though. |

If I want to buy whole releases it's cheaper to do so from Bleep and I don't really care about the artwork. |

|

sony for instance? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yes, to be honest most of my CDs are only listened to as MP3s anyway. I only buy stuff to DJ with on vinyl really. |

i suppose its a good idea, but personally i would never buy an mp3, cause basically it seems like you are paying money for nothing. i don't even download mp3s off slsk or anything very often (and if i do its usually hard-to-find stuff, or previewing an artist before i buy a cd), but paying for a digital file without getting a "hard copy" seems like throwing your money away to me. this also applies to software companies that sell programs online i guess. maybe it has to do with buying something that you could give away for free without any loss at all.. also i would rather get the cd with case and artwork for about the same price (which could be copied to a computer at "full-quality" rather than an mp3) |

evolume is correct. There is nothing illegal about having mp3s on your HD... the problem is sharing them. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that's exactly what i thought about |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Besides. You know that if you go to bleep you will find what you're looking for. I've searched for things on slsk i can't find alot of the time... or shit quality. It's nice that it gives people a choiceto do what they want. Choice is always good imo |
