she's a girl, she doesn't buy aphex twin cd's. she has come  to daddy, richard d. james album, and drukqs. i mean,  please, what else IS there worth buying? nothing.
 
  anyway, valid question - where can i download the first peel  session? seeing as how that's not on a cd that could be  bought, it's fair and "square" to download it. =D =d +D ?D

i for one bought the US out-of-print cd's Classics and SAW  85-92 on ebay dirt cheap used and in good condition. it's  not that hard. i don't mean to be "cruel" but there are  really only certain afx mp3's that should be downloaded, the  ones that are unreleased or deleted (ie: 2000 copies pressed  on vinyl, knuhmean). for my part i am SORRY for mocking you,  but it's just that so many people stiff warp and rephlex for  money by downloading or burning the albums.

Hmmm, dunno about that, Aphex has more than enough cash, he  fucking hates Warp, he'd probably be happier if none of his  CDs were in the shop, so what the fuck, rip it all.

you might like my Windowlicker remix... it starts out  mellow, gets dead sexy, has an orgasm (a small one), then  gets hallucinatory and a bit raunchy after that.... I know  I'm always posting about listening to my shit, but I'm a  narcissist, and I can't help myself.  Besides, I really  think you'd like it!

You can grab TONS of mp3s off of me if you wish! I have all  rare Aphex mp3s, so do many other people that frequent here,  or atleast they used to. I think.

just cos RDJ hates warp doesn't mean we have to. warp is the  label that gave us aphex twin, autechre, squarepusher, boc,  plaid, plone, red snapper, etc. etc. ask not what warp can  do for you, but what you can do for warp. ;)
 
  as for rdj having enough money, it's not an issue of  overpaying him - it's paying him at all. ripping him off is  not cool. it's not right that pop artists around the world  can spend 2 weeks in a studio and sing words they didn't  write over music they didn't perform and make millions of  dollars while true artists get little to no money because  their fans are smart enough to know how to download their  songs off the net or burn albums.

Fair enough, but he said he doesn't mind, so rip Aphex and  no other Warp artists, how's that?

Not true my friend, mostly if should be ok to rip artists  off, they get paid anyways, through the record company and  the stores that buy the CD in the first place. Its  independant artists running their own record companies and  such, Indie labels, that get hurt when you Rip music.

Yup, so it is fine to rip artists and their mp3s for  whatever use you wish. I do it. Tons of people do it. There  are about 4 artists I enjoy that I actually pay for their  CDs all the time, because they own their own little label to  get away from Corporate America and all that it has to  offer. So to speak...

he dosent hate warp, in his last interviews he said he hasnt  got  a problem with them.
 
  and he says he release music so that he doents have to do  other shitty jobs. If every1 copied SAW1 and 2 of each  other, he'd wudnt have time to make ICBYD and RDJ etc as  he'd be working in a local McDonalds. 
 
  so buying his CD's properly is giving him more power to  create his fantastic music.

Not really, once again he gets money from the original  record contracts he had for those deals. As well the store  buys the copies and then re sells them. He already maked  money.

don't be dumb stores don't order cd's if there's no interest in them someone said drukqs has sold 20K copies i bet 100K have heard it at least
  i'm not saying RDJ is poor or that he loves money. what i'm  saying is, it's obtuse to claim that it makes no difference  in an artist's income if you buy the music or not. ask  anyone who has ever released a cd, whether on their own  record label, no label, or a major label. if your shit  doesn't sell then you don't make any money. advances need to  be paid back. artists almost always make a percentage of  what their cd's sell, for instance 10% for rappers back in  the 80s, and up to 50% for some artists today depending on  their contracts and involvement with the label. burning cd's  by anyone takes money away from the people whose music you  enjoy. not only are they deprived income, whether they need  it or not, their record labels are sent the wrong message.  it's impossible to count how many people have burned an  album for free whereas the industry has an almost exact  number of albums sold. if everyone's burning an album  instead of buying it, the label doesn't know if people like  it or not. what does that mean? look at nin. there's a  financially well off group with a history of commercial and  critical success. their last album was burned by a lot of  people. as a result, their tour and music videos were funded  by the artists themselves instead of the label because they  were afraid of wasting money on a group without a  statistically successful new release. what happened? they  had the most popular concert tour of the year and made some  great music videos. the fans are out there, but if you  swindle the artists they get fucked over. the less you buy,  the less promotional power and advance money they get. i  can't imagine how anyone with a conscience could think  ripping off their favorite musicians is cool given these  facts. and whether you want to acknowledge them or not, they  are facts. merchandise and touring brings in tons of money,  but not all artists tour or make shirts. and not all artists  are given the money to be able to tour or make shirts  because of assholes who won't spend $10-15 on a cd they  enjoy. if you're going to be a prick and do that, you have  absolutely no right to complain about any popular musical  groups or record labels because it's your fault that they're  doing what they do.

Ok, so 100k have heard it because they can download it...  but if they couldn't would those 80k have baught it?
 
  Probably not, they probably would have heard it from their  friend who has bought it... and or got a copy from them....  remember the days of getting TAPES (heh) from your friends?
 
  Real fans are gonna buy it regardless. People just getting  into will probably download, maybe not buy it, or maybe  become a fan and start getting his albums.

the last nin album sucked, that why i didn't get it...
  I own PHM, broken, fixed, the downward spiral, etc... everything up until recently. I don't like the direction he  has taken and did not purchase (or even download the fragile  and his newer stuff)
 
  I re-purchased broken and fixed after losing my old ones  because they are awesome albums...

never  mind the nin post, i misread what you were saying.
  But, although I didn't like the album, I would have still  gone to see NIN live. And I'm sure many other people  feel/felt the same way.

i just used nin as an example of an act with lots of money  who is still affected by piracy (like aphex twin). i love  nin and 'the fragile'. i own all the releases and his last  album was my favorite. however i don't bother criticizing  people anymor for their personal dislike of 'the fragile' -  it is a departure from his old sound, as broken was to phm,  tds was to broken, the perfect drug was to tds, etc. anyway,  i'm not saying people should make generous donations to  their favorite artists. it's just a simple matter of having  legitimate copies of albums readily available in stores or  online - it's a really simple concept.

as for your first post, the point people on this message  board and all over the internet are making is that they have  the technology to replicate albums on disc without having to  pay - and so they don't, regardless of how much they like  it. i think it's naive to assume that every single person  who has heard and enjoyed drukqs has purchased a legitimate  copy. i know a few people who love it and have yet to or  will not buy a real copy. while i feel people should be  allowed to burn whatever they please, i do make a point to  urge people to speak to the record industry (who are very  hard of hearing, as we all know) with their wallets and to  take a sort of pride and honor in their musical preference  by aiding the artists they enjoy. it sucks to have to think  of it politically, but it's not a fair world and this is  what i feel helps things out.

Even when I buy buy a cd, I rip it into mp3.  Just in case  some cunt steals it.  I Don't even share mp3's on the  internet.  I have almost all of RDJ's music in mp3 fomat,  but I still buy the records when I can find/afford  them...But I still want Q-Chastic damnit...

nothing wrong with having mp3's of cd's you own. or mp3's in  general - i am just saying if you really enjoy a whole album  you should buy it. i have something like 6000 mp3's on my  hard drive, all songs i don't have on cd. when i get really  into an album i buy it and delete the mp3's. a lot of afx  stuff isn't available, like nancykitten meant, so until  they're re-released i don't see anything wrong with enjoying  them the only way available..
 
  (i am not a prude!)
