You do realise that what you've all done is an infringement of copyright?

 

*ahem*

 

I'm a musician, these things affect me and my livelihood. :lol:

 

It's only 79p to download it legitimately anyway.

 

I'm sure you'll abuse me for saying it but it pees me off.

I actually agree with you. :lol:

 

And I think it was a bit daft to do it on the board given the fact that it's illegal. If this place goes offline soon we'll know who to blame. ;)

 

Loads of music gyppos on here though..... ;)

Aye you're right......however I never told anyone to download it, I thought they were just going to listen to it your honour, as the proprietor of a radio station (current highest listener figures a staggering 4!) Im obviously fully aware of these legal matters.

 

cheers for that copy of Crazy Frog you made me, you still after a copy of that "Filthy Accounts assistants IV" on DVD?

If you're really a musician then you would do well to recogise that the industry that is being injured does a lot more harm to artists than this current battle.

 

The industry is taking notice and the way things are done is changing. We'll probably end up with a subscription "all you can eat" model very soon. How much of that 79p do you reckon the artist sees by the way?

Love the way album sales are at near an all-time high yet they still bitch and moan about piracy.

 

The main point is that record labels assume that EVERY download is a missed sale.

Yeah, most people I know who download are also very good little consumers. AF for example has criticised people downloading movies on here before. I download quite a few movies but I spend just as much as I ever did on DVDs. If I watch a movie I think is decent I buy it from play.com. The difference is I never make mistakes with crap movies.

Agreed, if anything I buy more CDs now than ever before and its because of file sharing, I download music, try it out and if I really like it I buy the album. In the past I wouldnt have taken chances on bands that I hardly knew in case I wasted my money. I now download allsorts of shit, some of which is crap and gets deleted, some is OK and I listen to a few times and others are so good I go out and buy the original.

Gyppos. :lol: If I want to download music then I pay the 79p a song that it costs.  I still buy CDs as well like, I just don't download for free.

Plenty of artists on this side of the fence, why do you think that is? This is just pent up aggression over people who steal pens from your office isn't it?
