I don't really care if you download movies or music...I won't claim innocent myself. But trying to justify it with stuff like that is ridiculous. "Music companies don't get with the times...we're teaching them a lesson about increasing security"...stuff like that. You want music companies to adapt? By "adapt," you mean either "free music" or more DRM and restrictions on downloading and keeping music files. So don't complain about DRM when you're forcing them to do it by torrenting and using Limewire. |
Actually, a lot of musical artists (especially the smaller ones) support downloading, as they make most of their money touring, and it's the record labels that make the money on the actual CD's. And Record companies are by far more immoral, evil and dammaging to the musical process than downloading.
Not that I'm trying to use a justification to download music, I just couldn't care less if every record company on the planet collapsed. It would be the best thing to happen to music since the drum.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
