Visit RIAA @ www.riaa.org (Recording Industry Association of America) and the MPAA www.mpaa.org (Motion Picture Association of America).

Yeah...and a bud told me this:

You view art in museums...so art=public
art=artist
people who right music are artists
so....

music=art
art=public

If no one understands....go jump on a trampoline, and I'll be dling a bunch of techno

property = theft

theft = property
therefore

1. You can view dead animals in museums too.
2. Museums sometimes charge entry fees.
3. Art != Arist. Non sequitur.
4. People who write music can be composers as well. Or lyricists. What is music?
5. The rest of it is flawed due to the antecedent being flawed.

Nice try though. Unfortunately, they tried that infront of a federal judge, and he didn't buy it.

(Some do, though...)

I wouldn't say that downloading music is stealing... It's resourceful. College students' way of making up for lack of income.

The general consensus is that pirating and downloading stuff illegally actually hurts the revenue of the companies' severely. However, how many of us would actually buy cds and dvds if downloading wasn not an option? I sure wouldn't. I think people are forgetting that the vast majority of people who download illegally would not spend money otherwise. So no harm done.

I never though about it that way...
I wouldn't buy DVDs or CDs anyways....
Dumb companies.

This should be read by everyone. Great post soviet.

I buy very few movies, I simply rent them (why the hell would I want to watch it more than 5 times?). And I don't really have that much music, but I do buy it. But, honestly, I'm not going to sit here and whine about people who download illegally. If I thought it was unfair, I would DL too. And I would never dream of a record company going under

And, as said before, a person who downloads for free would never buy the thing in the first place anyway

TheEPIC · Oct 11, 2005, 02:45 AM // 02:45

I usually buy my music, I had bad experiences with filesharing programs madly slowing down my computer. Even when I decided to be a greedy person and disallow all sharing. Anyways, I like having the original medium, I dunno why.

Personally, I don't care about people downloading crap. Have fun, it's not like it has affected me.

02prove · Oct 11, 2005, 02:47 AM // 02:47

its illegal i dont download it and this is not a real person speaking its a fake ip and once the FBI get here the not real person wont be gere

Bearshare is decent.

It just has a really stupid name and desktop icon. But I know it works.

*Gasp* Free music off the internet is illegal? And they said in the policy that the website was government approved. Approve my butt. Stupid parents, why did they show me that site...

TheEPIC · Oct 11, 2005, 04:23 AM // 04:23

It's a government conspiracy. They promote illegal activities to weed out those foolish enough to listen to them.
