Do you think large trance mp3 collections are (will be) worth money?

If you have like an unbelievably organised trance mp3 collection of say 50 GB or something, with nearly all the good stuff from Rank 1, Push, Armin, Ferry, Ti�sto, etc..., do you think that is or will be worth money? Will there be online sales for that or something in like 5 years or something? What do you think?

Fair enough, lets download some tunes to ease the tension

No, unless they stop mp3 sharing. Coz lets face it, high-speed connections in the future will mean anybody can download a collection of 500 mp3's whenever they want.

Posted by George Kendall on Nov-02-2002 11:58:

Yeh then people like Airwave will stop producing tunes for labels

We nearly didn't get his album released coz of you leechers!

They won't, probably because if you were selling a large mp3 collection, it'd be like selling a whole load of stolen shit and keeping the money for yourself he he, well thats the way RIAA or whoever would see it, unless they are all kidnapped and taken away or the laws change.

I've brought some mp3 cds of a ta before I got a cable connection. I brought each cd (roughly 60-70 traks) for 10 pounds each!

feck that!! Mp3's are free thats the beauty of them, day u start paying for mp3's is a sad day

hmmmmmm downloading of most MP3 is illegal so selling them on ?
download them for your private collection sure but dont sell them on, not only is it illagal but IMO morally wrong too.
U DLed them for free then expect to make money by selling them ?
its ppl like that, that makes the downloading of mp3 such a hot issue and why the riaa etc clamp down so hard on sharing of mp3.

and considering with most broadband users able to DL a 10mb mp3 in a few minutes, i don't think that they will ever be worth any money.

WTF!? Yeah selling mp3s is illegial.. but so is downloading them! lol at the end of the day they're both illegial and none is less or more moral than the other. By that logic we should also shut down all the ripping groups as well, as they are distributing the mp3's for us to download from in the first place. Then we would have no mp3s altogether.

errr yes it is, clearly, selling something you had no hand in making, or paid for in any way is evil
on the other hand, if you download a tune, like it, then go buy the vinyl, Thats going to make up for it
selling mp3's is sick as fuck

yeah, cuz we all by the vinyls/cds don't we. Iam sure everyone here remembers to delete their mp3s ..selling something you had no hand in making, or paid for is evil? Well downloading something you had no hand in making, or paid for is exactly the same! If this case was taken up by the RIAA I don't think they'd back your argument. Both are the same principal. Anybody who downloads mp3's has no right to dictate what's "more illegial" or moral than the other.

Im not tyring to fall out with anyone here Im just placing my point

Err...no.

well I wasn't even the one who sold them, I just brought them ..Anyway if everyone is against selling mp3's then why the fuck was this thread even created in the first place??!

Posted by Belgian Bonzai on Nov-02-2002 17:32:

Suppose someone is dying to get for example 'Moon Project - Apocalypse' and the tune is rare like whatever. And he's prepared to pay �25 for it. Who would give it to him and forget about the money?
Mmm, moral thing. I have EVERYTHING shared on the net, all my mp3's so this is all 100% hypothetical. Just performing a thought-experiment here...

Posted by Technaut on Nov-02-2002 17:41:

seriously> if they wanted the damn mp3 so bad i would give them it, even for a trade or something, no way am i gonna take money off someone for a stupid mp3

Posted by chris_norris on Nov-02-2002 17:46:

I give my mates cd's full of mp3s to lend every now and again, selling them to em? wtf? there is a difference between downloading for your private collection and selling them on, think about it, your profting twice. Once by having the music for free and the money you would have otherwise spent in your pocket, and twice for selling it on and making even more money on top of that from it.
