"And if you did have the money, would you have bought all that stuff legitimately? Even if it was a simple download? I doubt it."

Dunno about everyone else, but I still find this a pretty stupid argument.

why?... he's counter claiming the industry stance that without downloading people would have bought those goods as retail and therefore it is lost revenue.

so what right have they got to take for free then?

would you go into a shop and lift a pair of jeans and tshirt cos u liked the look of them but couldnt afford them?



who are you trying to kid? outside itunes shitey top 40 its fucking shocking - i know the figures of beatport , audiojelly etc first hand through having 'best sellers' on there charts etc - its absolutely ridiculous

the sooner dickheads with massive servers deliberately fighting the poor mans cause for free music get caught the better - they think there some sort of internet robin hoods - fuck that these indie labels are hardly corporate greedy giants

heheh... i've seen your tunes on Beatport (yeah, thats where i shop for trance, where no one can see me innit ;)

lol

but seriously, would you care to say more? i kind of like beatport. it looks like a BIG fuckin website what with all the tunes on there. i'd be dissapointed to learn they arent making any money out of it.

stealing jeans != copying music tracks.

no matter how anyone tries to paint it copyright violation is not the same as theft. whether they are the same on a moral level is open to debate though.

there is a big difference between music and commodities- for example when im buying albums i can pick up a product ive never heard but have been recommended; if that product doesn't have huge airplay support in that if its anything oyther than pop i think its unfair to not be able to hear the music before you buy it- sure some shops offer you headphones but the whole attitude needs changing or the shops need to start accepting cd's back cos 'they were crap' and not only when their is a fault with it.
