PANTIES

mc_303_beatz...

here's an idea.
buy cds and support the artists!

right when you make yr purchase, make a cdr copy (and mp3s
if you want) and have that as your listening copy. if you
fuck it up (scratches, etc) then make a new copy from the
original you bought.

I hate hearing excuses way some people don't buy music.

a lot of stuff i would absolutely love to get (anything by
lusine icl, say) isn't domestically available, or otherwise
ridiculously expensive (import prices).

that said, unless you're dead broke, that should be the only
"morally justifiable" reason to download stuff - if it's
next near to impossible to buy, or out of print.

I've given up on CDs as a medium. I have a 20gig MP3 player
now. My computer and that is my stereo.

But regardless, a musician should be able to make a decent
living touring. I know it's horrible having to acutally
leave the house and work a bit but shit.

As far as I'm concerned both the music and software
industries need to fall.

ive kind of accepted that i will have my music pirated, and
that my main source of income will not be my music. It
doesnt bother me. I enjoy sharing my music. Ill release
stuff on CD, because I know some people like to actually buy
cds... but if people just download it, thats fine. At least
they like my music!

perhaps... I mean such an event would be the result or cause
the result of a major economic catastrophe. But I think
giant corporations like any major label, Clear Channel cause
more harm than good. And the independant labels that those
corporations shut out as they produced non-mass-marketable
products may be left to survive being as they only survive
by word of mouth and p2p anyways. That's why artist ran
labels rule - if that lead artist is good they can book a
tour to keep themselve (not necessarily the label) in
financial stability. Plus it gives them the right to be a
snooty bastard about who they sign as they can't afford to
hardly release anything anyways. Planet Mu and Tigerbeat6
come to mind.

And Sonic Foundry and Adobe have no business charging
hundreds of dollars for their video editors. If they only
cost $99 I would actually buy them.

I guess I stand where as if the corporation tries to rape
the consumer I'll attempt to better them by giving them a
forced entry instead.

I'd rather go to a label's site and donate $20-$40 via
PayPal for the downloads I've got rather then buy a $15 CD
that I might or might not like and then deal with it's
packaging as well, a further clutter in my insane room.
I donate money to sites if I believe in them. Maybe I
should get out more....

true
the beauty of any program is that it is made of code which
haxorz love to hack.

there will never be un-hackable copy protection.
