Let's all download illegally....don't buy another CD. How long before record companies, would take stock and grt rid of all the crap that is masquerading as music? Not long i bet.
Why does downloading music off certain sites still get up peoples noses?
Why are rich people stingy?
If illegal downloads are killing the music industry, why haven't any bands/individuals/music companies ever filed for bankruptcy?
And don't get all holy, it seems certain things are more illegal than others. Music is for the people, it is up to the individual whether they want to pay for it or not.
It is only illegal if you get caught

It's an age old problem PC. We'll never educate everyone of the realities here, but the thread has now been closed.

Ah i see sarcasm is sorely missed on here....as usual some people didn't get the point i was making, and prog chick seems to be the biggest whinger, maybe i should complain about her?
Holier than though.

What is your point? Lost on me as well. Anyone who thinks or infers most musicians are rolling in lucre is crazy.

If you point was to promote a volatile issue, make offensive remarks, and insult a well respected member, then you've succeeded.

I see the irony. But there's a line where your sarcasm is so realistic it is likely to be misunderstood and taken as offense, and you have to sense that limit. Very few people "got it" as you can see.

Emoticons help give the feeling of sarcasm (since it doesn't exactly work when typing) I got the sarcasm
