Do you still download music?

This is totally private, so please tell the truth. You don't have to reply if you don't want to, this is for my own knowledge. Also if you are giong to reply, please dont say like "oh yeah but only if i can't find it anywhere or something like that" Just a simple yes, or no will suffice.

 

Other than Musicmatch's streaming rado once in a while, no.

 

No, no G.T., just Yes or No! Geez Louise...

 

Streaming radio doesn't count

As long as you dont, shock horror, SAVE IT!

 

i got a 40 gig ipod to fill up. i download alot of music, but i pay for alot of it from itunes.

 

Where's the option for "no, but then I never did before, either"?

 

LOL. That would have been my choice too, but NO works.

 

lol yeah i should have put "do you download music". kind of biased now. but at least you get what i meant.

 

Do you mean copyrighted music?

 

tsk,tsk. . .
I am not going to tell one to do it, but I do it
I see no harm in it. . .kinda like other things people do that they wouldn't
let on for various reasons(pride, legallity,etc...)

like,
"Everyone does it, its a part of groing up."
ya, know( take that as you like)

I share the music I purchase with online "friends"
I buy the rights to those I do buy and I do as I like
and if I hear a song(from a friend" I really like, I go buy it

remember mix tapes ?
same damn thing only more "high tech"
thats where the ipod comes in( I do not have one myself )
selling is bad, that I do not do

and the whole Metallica vs Napster thing
I do see there point, really
it takes alot of work to loaded(tee hee) with money
and Napster was making money


"Yes, I DL Music!!!!"

there is still a fine line of things, and dam'mat
I will walk it


*And Lars( If your reading this) I will give you $2.35 for that one song I do have. .if it means that much to you. . . .*

 

I never pursued downloading music.

I've just heard to much crap about it, and after reading an "off base" article in MG - I found that no "free" music exists legally.

I would look into downloading music, but I don't fully understand what information can be gotten from you when you do dowload something, so for now I'll just stick with the radio.

BTW: Jarcher - I remember when Metallica first came out. I was a huge fan. The underground made them popular. If it hadn't been for kids like me copying tapes and giving them to friends - they would have never gotten as popular as fast as they did. Then, when Cliff Burton died, they gave up their "no videos" policy and released "Cliff' em All". It made tons of money. Then, there was the "One" video and the "commercial" album "Metallica - black".

They are sell-outs. Their music sucks now, and they have made tons of money. At this point, I don't know if I would give Lars the time of day - much less $2.35 for any crap they're putting out now.

LAIGo

 

Cliff helped write a third of that albumn( and justice for all) it was OK
yea they are crap now
I have master of puppets(the song) on my PC, I like it alot
screw 'em
its now all about the money
the "music" is no more

 

everybody in my house d/l's music!!! its the number one use for the puter. i wouldn't dream of selling it, and would not permit others to do so. i don't even think the line is that fine. aloha Laurie

 

never have, never will, but others are free to do as they will

 

I've got over £2000 of CD's upstairs - the music industry has ripped me off enough - selling an album on the back of one or two songs and the album turns out to be crap!!!!!
Now I listen to all the songs and if I like them I buy the CD - seems fair to me.

 

Yeah Nitro, that's fair. I always rent a DVD before buying it. And I know what ya mean about getting screwed on albums(cd's)

 

About that...you can listen to albums at most music stores, to see if you like them before you buy them. Also, most public libraries rent CDs, so you can see if you like it before you buy it. Why download something you know is illegal to download (unless you're using one of the pay as you go services) when you can easily get the same thing legally simply by leaving your computer chair?

Oh. Wait. I just answered my own question, didn't I? "Leaving your computer chair". I get it now. *sigh*

 

Kind of like that old no-win courtroom question: "Have you stopped beating your wife?"​
