HOW CAN I CARE ABOUT RECORD SALES. i heard artists get few money from record sales. labels and recording companies do get the main money cream, fuck them hard

I'm thinking about records sales. I'm thinking my downloading won't affect them. Since I buy if I can and if I can't, I download. Therefore if there were no downloads I still wound't be buying and therefore no record sales would be affected. Ta da!
Plus, those artists would just blow it all on sexual deviations and class-A drugs anyway!

i think its just stupid to buy an album without listening to it first, and mp3/p2p file sharing lets you do just that, if you really can stand an album burned from the mp3's you downloaded then you dont really appreciate the sound of an original recording anyway - and not everyone fits into this category, but most people only seem to care that they have the album when they download it, they burn it to disk and forgo purchasing it if they like it, i think this is real issue here, not whether mp3s are evil.

hey, if you like it and you can deal with some duds, then buy all means...but for me - especially now i like to know that the album is pretty good, and that its not just some flash in the pan.

dunnow why but i often find out that i don't like a particular album after i bring it home - it sounds good when i listen to it in the shop, but i don't like it all that much when i listen to it at home. for stuff that i get over web, i usually only hear samples or sometimes only read some reviews, but i usually love all of it later..i don't go to shops as much as i used to, mainly because our music shops suck, but im also a bit sjort on money atm. im sure i'd be broke al the time if i lived in UK..they have the most amazing music shops!!

i'm almost forced to go to a recordstore since my creditcard ended up dead..the problem is: most of the times they dont have what you came for and you end up with some other good shit (or not), your order hopefully made..

this is hilarious. i created this thread just because i misread the word "prosecution" in the "MP3 prosecution" title..
i'm not trying to convince anyone to start buying/buy more music! I'm the worst for that :) I haven't bought an album (apart from christmas/birthday presents) since i was.. about 13.. and have quite a few albums now :)
[i'm being more cautious about bragging about my mp3 collection now that lawsuits are becoming a terrible reality, even in this country..]
MP3 4 LIFE! :D

whole trick starts when you start to think that actually cost of producing single CD with music on it, plus costs of making boxes and inlays, is like about 1000000000000000 times smaller than actual prize of the CD in a shop.
thats explains why im downloading stuff from web, isf they want to fuck me, i will make a move first, and will fuck'em harder.
