you cant justify the excess downloading of mp3s like that. He is still getting something for nothing. Its not as bad stealing physical things like cars where the owners actually miss it. But its still depriving the artist of income.
Do i do it too? yes.
Do i try and justify it? no.
Do i know that its ultimatly wrong? yes. |

at the end of the day its a double edges sword... i think mp3s have helped and promoted artists as much as they have hurt them financially... its technology, you cant control it. give the current prices of vinyl i for one, do feel for the artist but what about us the consumer. we cant afford to spend 20 dollars on every ing tune just to hear it, granted there are listening booths in record stores but without the mp3, there wouldnt be hype around tracks certain tracks wouldnt be saught after and the community in general would be less clued in. which i think would reflect on the enthusiasm of events etc. how many of you that goto the gigs can say every track you trainspotted you had heard through a 'legal' avenue. off. MP3s have advantages and disadvantages, they treat the entire consumer markets as greedy drones who just want to download as much as possible and thats a insult to all the people out there spending there hard earned dosh on the vinyls, cds or whatever they first hear on mp3
i find it hard to believe airwave cant pay his bills because of the mp3 format, that is the biggest load of bull i have ever heard, the amount of income he must have generated just from users on this message board would be enough to have someone clean his balls everyday |

hey i have no problem with downloading an mp3 then saying "hey thats mad i'll go buy it". however, telling everyone that you have downloaded 70 productions from just one artist and then justifying it by saying "hey its all good, i bought two of them" is just stupid. blaming everything on mp3 is also stupid though. 100% agree with escee and jah. |

Agreed, there are advantages and disadvantages.
Philby, i can say quite honestly that if it weren't for mp3 i wouldn't have bought one single vinyl of L-vee's or anyone else for that matter. I probably wouldn't even know what trance is.
What i don't get is what is this petition going to do?? Stop programs such as Direct Connect?? |

Yeah i know its not right to do it but my comment before (on the first page) was looking at my situation realisticly. It may be different for other people. |
