Why would we buy CDs if we can get them free? I know this won't stop many people.

Chad22 · 01-28-2003, 08:29 PM

Yikes, So they could come to my door and arrest me anytime for downloading songs? Thats Stupid.

This is going to make MP3 player companies go out of business.

Perhaps the reason record sales dropped 8.8% because there was no new music worth buying.

See now, I DL songs all the time, BUT I also buy CD's. I DL the songs my groups or singers that I know I only like that just one song. Of course when Britney or J.Lo comes out I buy it.

Yeah, ditto. I download and I buy some cds. I didn't buy that many new cds last year. I bought Home, Up, Cry, and the Elvis 1 cd, and I got Shut Up for Xmas. Yeah, my cd buying has went down. At least I still buy cds, though. I could've just downloaded the songs off each cd.

I have to admit that this downloading stuff has made cd prices drop. That is such a good thing. Yeah, downloading is free. Yet, you can't beat a 10 buck cd.

I'm guilty. I burn CD's like there is no tomorrow. But I mean, I'm not made of money here! I'm only a 14 year old teenager in 8th grade. Jeeze.

That's what I keep saying. If most of the new music didn't suck, maybe people'd buy more CD's.
