^ Way to do exactly what the topic starter wanted you not to do.
 PA does not condone illegal activity. Ever. You have broke a rule. I bet an admin will be here shortly.... |

Am I allowed to start an 'illegal downloads' thread?

To be fair, this is the only one supporting other ways to download and allowing users to suggest legal, cheap and effective ways to get ahold of prog music. And, thanks to Mr MikeEnRegalia I have signed up to emusic! Anyway, probably a good idea to keep an eye on it although I trust that it will be kept abuse-free!
 Anyway...
I base my thoughts on whether I like the band through free streaming. If I like it then I buy it somehow. Either ebay, amazon, play.com or anything like that. I just can't stand waiting for a bar to load cause i like the booklets and cases and track lists and paper-based lyric sheets and such. |

Not trying to be the eternal pessimist here but these threads very rapidly degenerate and I will be keeping an eye on this one.

I have no problems with destroying the industry as we know it, because it sucks and is ripping off both artist and consumer alike - consumers, to the Recording Industry ASS. are pirates until proven innocent and I HATE those anti-piracy messages you get on DVDs that bona-fide punters like me can't skip through - but I am TOTALLY against illegal downloading
...I don't like downloading music either - like others, I want something tangible for my money, but occasionally I'll buy a track just to get the taste.

What you want and what you get ...  Seriously: I agree that it makes no sense to download a CD legally for the same price which you would pay for the real CD. My suggestion for you: Try http://www.emusic.com. There you get unencrypted high quality mp3s at a price which is often quite cheaper than the actual CD (depends on the subscription model and on how many tracks the album has). Personally I don't use the website for the albums of my top 10 favorite artists because for those I still want the "real" thing, but for other artists which I simply want to check out I can afford the extra €20/month, which allows me to download 75 tracks.

I agree with you there but for me it is difficult to find time to go to CD shops and mail order is very expensive to Greece. So starting downloads seems like a logical step. After all, I already have a good stack of CDs. I will continue to buy CDs from time to time.

I don't support downloads at all.
I want substance. I want tangible. I want a booklet with pretty pictures. I want a free patch and stickers. I want a poster of the pyramids. I want free post-cards and art prints. I want a gate-fold sleave with original artwork by Dave McKean or Roger Dean. I want an insert with a list of forthcoming realses from the same lable. I want a lyric sheet. I want hidden tracks and bonus material. I want a free making-of DVD. I want to read the thanks list to see if anyone I know is on it. I want to know who played 'cello on track three.
And if there is a small piece of plastic amongst all that that contains some music as well then all the better.

For anyone and everyone who hates illegal music downloading devaluing the quality and art of music and thus destroying the industry as we know it, please issue your comments here and ignore those who seek to create ruin and disaster.
I also beg of you not to post coments on illegal ones as that shows that you gave an ounce of care to see what it was about whereas you should ignore it cxompletely and thus give the user zero satisfaction. If you don't read it then you don't think of it and then you can't be part of the problem should it unfold. Anyway, just trying to do a good thing, I hope you all take the lead. Cheers. |
