filesharing???

do you support/beleive in filesharing

dl for research purposes...

Posted by Djeebie on Jul-03-2004 10:37:

I want to know what I'm getting, so I first download it and then buy or don't buy.

Don't download - I'm satisfied listening to vinyls in record stores, and listening to samples from online stores.

However if I already own the vinyl then I'll keep an eye out for an mp3 too.

I generally dl and then buy but sometimes when I cant find what I'm looking for in a store or online I will dl to keep. FWIW I think filesharing is awesome. It has really exposed to me to new artists that I probably would not have heard of were it not for mp3s.

Posted by D-res on Jul-04-2004 00:21:

thats very true... i owe my devotion and love of EDM to filesharing. but i still only d/l for research. if i can find the cd or vinyl in the store, then i will buy it

Posted by robin on Jul-04-2004 16:17:

almost 70% of my record collection i probably wouldn't have known to buy without researching tracks via dling before hand. i buy a lot of older records so there aren't really any online samples...

^^^^ what he said

Usually, I DL CD's, and then, if I find them on sale on my music store, buy them.

Yes - i think music should be free and F*CK THE RIAA

I grew up around free music, and I believe that music should be downloaded.

I've only purchased a couple records, as I'm still saving up for my decks, but I do buy albums and mix-cds. Everything else is downloaded.

Filesharing doesn't hurt music sales. How many people have a computer and know how to do it anywhow?

Posted by dcential on Jul-15-2004 07:26:

as far as i'm concerned, me being able to dl music has only increased the amount of music i buy

Posted by noikeee on Jul-15-2004 13:51:

i don't think music should be free, but it should be at least a bit cheaper. i can see that happening in a couple of decades with the eventual extinction of labels, music being distributed digitally over the internet and all the cash being directed to the artist.

i do download, loads of stuff, for researching purposes... but i don't buy everything that i like, just an eventual bunch of records once in a while. it just would be insanely expensive to buy everything that i like, being a music freak

Posted by djkoolaide on Jul-15-2004 16:38:

I download because then I know what I'm buying. I don't wanna buy something and then later find out I don't like the song.

How can i buy without knowing what ? Gotta do some research first_

Posted by isoterra on Jul-16-2004 12:22:

As of earlier this year when I got my decks, the first option.

I'll be honest though, I don't buy EVERYTHING I download & keep. For the simple reason that some tunes I like but would never get any use out of them if I bought them. I only get records I can actually DJ with.

//edit - and the occasional CD album if I've heard good reviews of it

Posted by M1cro5lave on Jul-17-2004 19:08:

I want to make sure I get what I want when I buy something.

Posted by gurra on Jul-18-2004 01:44:

Without file sharing I wouldn't find out about most producers, thus I'd be unable to purchase any records from them.

clearly the most convenient and reasonable

Posted by lolas123 on Aug-01-2004 00:56:

i think to many ppl earn on artist i mean so oragnization, others and thats cd or vinyls are expensive (in my country 1 vinyl = 1 day of work)
so it should be in that way
artist can promote music from music store - you can buy track for 1$
- its for free, but if you like it plz donate artist as much as you want
Thats better wy i think but who cares my idea
