Hey Darby,
I've been trying to keep this to myself.... but I'm not anymore? It seems like you've got a major problem with the whole concept of downloading music. Yes, I know all of the legal mumbo jumbo about the whole thing. I was one of the thousands of people that were kicked off of Napster (which is the reason the whole debate in the music industry started). One of my favorite bands, Metallica, decided that they were going to go after the online music realm and blame that for their records not selling.
Well, I don't know who I am talking too except a username... so I don't have explain anything which doesn't deserve an explanation... but I will explain somethings since you have so many fallacies in your last post and you don't know all the "legal mumbo jumbo" about the whole thing, or you wouldn't be argueing here about this.....
First, as I stated a few times (since you didn't take the time to read it), I'll state it again... I already gave missi the BEST source for getting cd quality music. I won't repeat that anymore!
Second, if you were a musician (like I am) and you had your own recording studio (which I have) and you were struggling to make ends meet to just get your music sold (which I am NOT), you would support the music industry. Most of those musicians only get pennies if they make it... and just because one does buy a cd... the royalties from that are not even realized for months... if not years, sometimes. But, you can not fathom anything about that. You have been brought up in your spoiled little world of.. get it free off the net... like so many younguns have.... You claim to buy CD's. That is good. If you like an artist or certain music.. buy it and support it...
Lastly, there was once a time that music made a difference in everyone's life. There was nothing like buying the album, admiring the band that is pictured or dementifyin what the cover means.... your last sentence.. "I say that as long as its availiable... I'm doing it." Well, I truly know you believe that......
