what do you consider downloading?

quietblues · 09-21-2003, 02:27 PM

downloading in my personal opinion, is great. and downloading is where you take music from various artists and copy them onto your comp. yeah.. well i think it's the best. i love burnin cd's.

i agree with you.

I love it. I don't give two ****s what the RIAA thinks, either. If you want people to stop downloading then lower your damn CD prices.

IMO, downloading music is just like recording it off a radio station.

exactly. Back in the 1980's, we used to borrow each others tapes (remember those? lol) and copy them to blank tapes. The difference between copying tapes in 1985 and copying cd's in 2003 is WHAT???

Hollow · 09-21-2003, 05:41 PM

i'm kind of against it... i download songs until i get the cd.

Mr. Stefani · 09-21-2003, 07:01 PM

I download..I only really buy the album if i really like the band and want to support them.

robyrob · 09-21-2003, 10:17 PM

if i want the cd, i buy the cd, if they have one good song on a ridiculously overpriced cd, i download it and burn it onto a cd-r that I have already paid a tax to the RIAA on...

actually they charge that tax on ALL my cd-r's, not just the few that i use for music... so screw them

I think that downloading CD's is so aweseme. I see where they are coming from, but until I see some news show on how Britney Spears had to stop buying her $5,000 purses, because of d/ling, I'm gonna keep doing it.

I agree, I have no "sorry" for downloading music from millionaires who have more money than I do even tho I have a job. The RIAA are greedy pigs

Ian · 09-22-2003, 03:21 AM

Crimson and Clover · 09-22-2003, 04:05 AM

Unwanted Angel · 09-22-2003, 04:12 AM

"I don't agree with downloading, but I see where the consumers are coming from, because bills are a higher priority than cd's"	1	3.70%
"I do it, but only because I can't find it cheaper. I'd pay for downloads"	0	0%
"Music is part of the public domain. Downloading a song is not the same as stealing the cd because you're just getting the music. No artwork. Who cares if the artist lost 50 cents to me... They shove their "fabulous" lifestyles on tv down your throat enough anyways. And I have more important things to buy than cd's. You know, like food and clothing?"	18	66.67%
