Didn't the greatful dead and phish encourage people to record their live performances? They rock
I've downloaded around 50 albums with BitTorrent in the past month and a half or so, and I really do feel guilty sometimes. I only feel guilty on Tuesdays, though.
just remember .... it's not stealing if you don't get caught...

nah i say keep downloading because they're making enough money to live alot better than most people in the world. there's alot of people out there starving , making 20 cents an hour doing hard labor, and what do they get at the end of the day? if record companies are going to bitch about mp3's, and if metallica is going to sue furniture stores for being named "metallika furniture store", well fuck them then. the media makes it such a tragedy because so and so performer is losing out on HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars in Mp3 downloads, the poor rich bastards. keep downloading Mp3's.
People don't steal from record stores, as often as they download, because it's difficult...not because they choose not to. Protection for the theft of electronics, is fluctuating by increasingly large sums, in comparison to the actual piracy that is slowly, stripping the music indrustry to pieces.
So you think the only reason people don't steal cds is because they are afraid of getting caught? I'm going to have to disagree there, as I can not imagine myself stealing a cd even if there were no one in the store and no alarms set. It just seems wrong. For me I think it's the anonymity of the internet that makes stealing from an invisible entity seem OK.Quote:
