You're a fucking idiot. If I like it enough yes.
If I see an album by anyone of the people who I have downloaded the albums of I will still download it, even though I already have the music itself.

Weren't We talking about the pros and cons of FileSharing? Or weren't we talking about how deserving artists should get paid?

Shut the Fuck Up Already, Hes saying that he would buy more CDs than he does if they were available. The Lack of Availability Drive him to Dowmloading to fullfil his needs. Say they were available, he would download alot less

Bootleggin can be seen from two point of views

Its stealing from the artist if all you consider is the decrease in sales from bootlegging.

Its the exact opposite from stealing if bootleggin is another means of promoting, like the radio, or any other means of media.

You can't get the real thing without buying it, so, if bootlegs didnt exist, people would still be making tapes of songs. Big Deal.

^ Availability is largely why I continue to download music. Awhile back I went to go and buy the Copywrite: Highly Exhaulted Cd. HMV told me that it would be 2-3 months before they could get a copy. So then I went home and had the fucking thing downloaded in an hour or so.

I've purchased my last 100 alubms, I could of easily downloaded them but, unless it's somethin that's on a mixtape that I can't find, I figure I will come across the cd eventually. I guess it's outta respect for the artists and the fact that I'd rather be able to look at all the producion work and sampling done than see SONY or MAXWELL with the album name written in marker on my cds.

I guess nobody will really grasp the concept of stealin until it affects somethin in a major way that forces a halt in production. Could you imagine if people downloaded video games like they were mp3s and then companies stopped makin games as a comeback? Whoa....... I scare myself.......

i can see where gunman is coming from
i mean put yourself in the shoes of the artist..
wouldn't u rather get 3 or 4 cent per cd sold than nothing at all
i mean its your career...most dont give a fuck about others but
it is their life..and it does rest in our hands as consumers...

at the same time if i can download a particular song that i like instead of buying
the rest of the cd whicn may be garbage...then u win...u save money and get the
song u liked..kinda selfish..but we want easy access to everything
and the internet was designed to do so...why not take advantage...

this can go either way...another never ending saga...

yeh income aint from records sales so much any more, now its clothing lines, commericials, shows, wtever else. bootlegging will prob always be there, its too hard to stop entirely. i believe its a form of publicity. thats what tech n9ne feels as well, he says many pps buy an album for one or two good tracks, whereas now they can just bootleg it. if the artist is confident they have put out a solid album, not with just one dope track then they shouldnt feel insecure bout bootlegging. worked for me, i started off dloading some of tech n9ne's stuff, ended up loving it and bought absolute power. also with dloading music its available, here not many good albums are easily available to buy
