The RIAA Sucks

[sheik124]

ok, we all know that, ignore the title, even though its a fact
honestly, how many of you pay for ALL your music. recently i cleared out all my MP3s, and bought legal copies of the songs i really listen to off iTunes, rest i had on CDs i bought, and ripped them out and now i'm a happy camper.

You should have put a plead the fifth option.

 

[cooliscool]

I plead the fifth!

Heh, the RIAA can bite my shiny file sharing ass :term:

 

[revl8er]

I haven't bought an album in a while since I started downloading them, so I say the RIAA can bite my shiny file sharing ass.

I did download an entire album once. That disc had long been out of print (and the used shops never had it) so I had little choice. Other than that one case, I've purchased all of my music. More than 300 CDs in my collection at this point.

well first of all i live in europe, so the riaa can kiss my ass. second, i buy my music and the mainstream labels dont get a red dime of my money anyway so maybe thats a moral justification for being so bold and actually wanting cds with a cover and such shit instead of mp3s.

I download it, if I like it then I buy it. If I don't like it then I delete it.

 

[blizz]

Yup same here, if I like it I buy it if not it gets deleted, which has had nasty consequences for my wallet.

 

[Trotterwatch]

I buy most of the stuff I download. Sometimes I'll download a few songs or an album and hate it - if it doesn't grow on me after 5 or so listens it'll be deleted. If it does, then I buy it

 

[Eagle]

I download it, if I like it then I buy it. If I don't like it then I delete it.

Same here, until recently I didn't have the disk space to keep thousands of MP3's even if I wanted to.

Bite my shiny Metal file sharing ass...

Download (simply because they often hit the net earlier, or are live tracks), then usually buy 99.99%. Sometimes multiple copies even. I've probably if anything bought more albums and singles than I would've otherwise.

Hey guys, I heard that I can illegaly download copyrighted materials off the Internet, Confirm/Deny?

[Stezo2k]

I download it, if I like it then I buy it. If I don't like it then I delete it.

agreed, i do the same with games aswell

i'd always buy originals if the prices were cheaper

 

[sheik124]

heh, the poll went like i thought it would. although, i probably should've voted for the second choice, as i go for the more appealing, buy it if i like it choice.

 

[sheik124]

whoa, is allofmp3.com too good to be true? should i trust these russian guys or not? most of what i have read up says they are legal due to loopholes in russian laws, but i don't think i am comfortable giving them my CC #

 

[Trotterwatch]

My friend has used them many many times, he says it works fine He certainly extolls the virtues to me all the time anyways.

 

[sheik124]

whoo, 500 MB for 5 bucks, doesn't get any better than that, and u can request that they encode it in ANY F*ING FORMAT directly from the original CD, wow, thank god for russia's horrrible economy, hehe
