anti-piracy campaign
 

Pharrell Williams, Mandy Moore, Jason Mraz, Missy Elliott and P. Diddy are all taking part in an anti-piracy media campaign created by the Sony Music Creative Services department. The goal of the program is to encourage music fans to download music though legitimate channels such as iTunes.com and Napster.com. The slogan of the campaign is "I download ... legally." Other artists who have pledged their support include 3 Doors Down, Sheryl Crow, Lenny Kravitz, LL Cool J and Aaron Lewis of Staind. The first advertisements will appear in Billboard magazine. ...

ya think this campaign will have any success????

maybe if cds werent so expencive people would buy them instead of downloading them.

i download...illegally

the concept of paying for music is now beyond my comprehension

granted i download porn more than anything...but i dont pay for that

i pay for internet access, isnt that enough

I will kill them all.

^ agree... they lower cds to 10 bucks a pop, there'll be no problems...but when they're liek 20, unless you buy them at target for 11.88, noone's gonna buy em, when they can download them...i mean really, are they gonna sue 20 million people

i know they can legally, but will they

hhhmmmm, so you were lieing to me last night. your "i dont download" was just a way to get away from listening to how dope brother ali is.

:nono: He should be beaten for that!

i agree.

Face it - no one who can download music or anyone who knows someone who can download music is going to pay. CD's are expensive as fuck these days as it is ..

yo C.D's are gettin pretty cheap over here,
some C.D's are like £6 each (dunno how many dollers that is)
illmatic, is what i picked up!!!

I do.

If I really like the CD I buy it.

Shadows On The Sun I bought, Seven Travels, Float, Daylight, sadly, there isn't a lot around me :(

word, I also try and support the underground

I recenly bought Shadows of the Sun, Sevens Travels and Bazooka Tooth

Even if they lower the prices.. I'd still download cuz, well if they lower the price then we'd still be payin.

Sheeeit.. artist claim they love to sing, rap or whatever then they shouldn't care about downloadin music..

If cds would be 10-13$ I have no problem paying for it. I will not waste my money on flops though, so thats why I download songs. For the dope ones, other than that, I still pay for my music. Buying bootlegs and mixtapes counts right?

What are you talking about, they also have to provide money for themselves.

^ Yes, they need to eat .. but so do the buying public. The charges their expecting now, or until recently, have been fucking ridiculous.

Thats why I pirate some. =)

Most of the artist that are complaining about people downloading have been recording for awhile and already have money and multi million dollar house's with indoor and outdoor pools.. with about 5 to 10 cars..

Yeah.
But I'm not talking about them.
Oddly enough the ones that don't say to much are the underground ones.
