I still do, except I rifle through the ú1 each section (about 12 for $20!). I'm lucky in having three local 2nd hand vinyl shops.

You can pick up vinyl (and CDs) pretty cheaply on eBay, if you're patient!

Can I mention the Vinyls I'm sel

On the topic of the Ayreon MP3's the record company is completely justified in asking ProgArchives to remove it. Seeing as the song is a single, it is completely possible that releasing a song for free on MP3 format may either decrease demand (by i

I'm not Karl Marx, but I think that any label wins much more than the artist. Music or art isn't important, just the money. World old story

Perhaps the record industry can be summed up in one word - 'communists', seeing as they only wish to use musicians to sell records to the masses, and they have no interest in more intellectual forms of music. Yes, Marcelo is on the right road.

If anyone cares to check out, you'll find some reeeally interesting article on the subject of 'free music on the net'.  It's an editorial written by Jerry Lucky, author of 'The Progresive Rock Files', and it is entitled "Is the End Near?"

But it's not mp3's OR File Sharing that are illegal, and while the pigopolists in the record companies believe they are the law, as far as music is concerned, we, the music fans should try to stay out of the path of the oncoming steamroller, b

The weird thing is, in Canada, it is legal to download MP3's, but, it is illegal to upload them. This pretty much removes the need to 'share' to satisfy other downloaders, which also increases by incoming bandwidth. They can't stop all music sharing with t

IMO, record sales are useless to non-major label bands.

They can only really make money by touring: selling tickets to live gigs and selling t-shirts and cd's at the concerts. Even if everybody on this board buys three copies of their cd, it wou

'Downloading' refers to your transferring a file, data stream or whatever from another PC/site to your PC. For example, you download MP3 files from ProgArchives.com to your PC.

'Uploading' refers to your transferring a file,

All:

Danbo:

Your comparison is apt: progarchives might be viewed as a liquor store at which various "wines" can be sampled.  However, if we extend your comparison, this makes the record companies the "wineries," in which case their rig
