prices are high cuz they are REAL theifs who jack the cd's off the shelves!

Well how much is a CD going for now?

There is no such thing as a 'real' thief and another. A thief means taking something which does not belong to you. Both of you are thiefs.

check out www.walmart.com for prices.

I think having a few songs downloaded is fine. ( under 10 ) but for the people who have hundreds of songs downloaded, i don't think it is ok.

ok, so if you change the extension from mp3 to something different then it no longer is a song. then its legal. data is data. if its not a song then its legal to download. how about that? so what if they start downloading .kfk files? is that ok? ah now if the money instead went to charity, and i mean REAL charity, then maybe it would be worth paying. the rich should not get richer. its as simple as that. The defenition of stealing is To take (the property of another) without right or permission but since one buys a song doesnt that mean its theirs? or are they just buying the right to listen to it? if thats so then the price should be lower, because supposedly when one buys something they own it. if the song is the property of say jane doe, then she should have the right to lend it to a friend. shoudl cdrs and mp3 players be illegal as well? I think all we need is someone to buy a licence, similar to that of a radio broadcaster, and allow people to download for free. ah such a charitable soul that would be... ^_^ well as soon as I get my break i think that's what im gonna do, unless my shopping spree significant other decides to go buy a 50000 dollar tee shirt.

i hate to read all that even tho i think its not bad to dl music =/

you wanna see a lot of readin? chek out the religion topic lol. thats a headache.

Which is now closed...bout time too.

free music to d/l is great!
best thing since peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. :alien:

The only ones that realy seem to complain of free music d/l's are...."Those that have more money then they need, and want more."...wich kinda pisses me off.

Real musicians want to be heard and acknoledged for their talent more so then to make money off of it.
If they can manage to make money off of their music. It makes their talent all the more purposefull and enjoyable for them.
However the general pride of creating music to be heard and enjoyed by themselves and others is generaly reward enough for ones self...or else they'd have given up on learning how to create music.
