Downloading music

Edit: Still, whether you can justify it or not, downloading music is still an illegal act.

I download music because its free.




But really its just too easy, too convenient, and it seems harmless enough. I do still buy CDs but only the must have ones. Same goes for other types of media... where would I be without my pirate machine I call a PC . To ease my conscience, the way I think of it is that I now have a broader range and more variety of media that I would not have concidered, where before I would just stick to what I would buy and be hesitant to spend my money. Basically I still buy what I would have bought before I had my pirate machine. Ahh my conscience feels better.

I do it because I can. I own just one CD (an audiobook, not music) - the rest I download off shareaza or special places.

Why? I can, and the cost issue. I've got a great MP3 player, and that's all I want to pay for music. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm weak - free beats paying any day of the week. I'd rather spend my money on buying great DVD's then on shitty CD's just so the people at the RIAA can afford a second Ferrari or third summer home.

Chuck don't give me that crap I went to Best Buy, Wal-Mart, K-mart and Circuit City. The one time I make an effort to buy music, I can't get it. Even with A7x's Warner Bros. deal I couldn't find it.

do you have a right hand and an index finger? if so, you can order cds online at insound.com interpunk.com amazon.com walmart.com bestbuy.com ....


and I know, KNOW that best buy has avenged sevenfold. but more importantly, if you buy music... you should do it from an independent record store... not walmart and bestbuy.
