Did you just take what I wrote and edited and then re-quoted me to fit your argument? What are you? Fox fuckin news?

That point is true, but it doesn't make your behaviour any less deplorable.

I wasn't "stealing" to give exposure, I was "stealing" to see what I like so I can purchase it. Think of as:

Trying clothes on before you buy them and having a return policy on them afterwards for a small period of time if it just doesn't fit or go with anything.

A Library where you can check out and read alot if you enjoy reading and can't afford to buy a new book each day. And when you find the book or author or genre you really like, you go purchase those ones or more books.

A movie rental store where you can check out some movies, and then purchase it on BluRay afterwards because you know you're going to watch it again, show other people, or just want your own official copy.

Test driving a car before purchasing...

Flipping through a magazine before buying...

I could go on and on...

You're going to be super pissed when you find out that people...

Speed
Do drugs
Drink and Drive
Have unprotected sex
Lie
Cheat

I'm incredibly blessed and thankful for the fact that my music is supported by many friends, fellow music enthusiasts, and a number of very talented and successful artists (from Anthony Attalla to UGLH to Sharam of Deep Dish).

Sharam of Deep Dish?! Really? Like you think anybody on this fuckin board doesn't know that Sharam is a part of Deep Dish?! You HAD to add that part, there you go again boasting and promoting and being a pompous twat..."Look at me and who I know"

I do, at home... but it's not a feasible solution when I just want to dump a bunch of tracks on a memory card and skip through them in the car, or put it on my phone and listen to them at work while doing mundane reports etc.

In the end, I don't have to prove to anyone whether or not I purchase the music afterwards, or what I do with the music I download, or why... I have my reasons for asking and was simply asking for suggestions.

I personally see nothing wrong with the original post. Sure, piracy isn't the most ethical thing, but it happens and we all do it.

If your a producer, 95% of the people who have your track didn't pay for it. In an ideal world maybe it wouldn't be that way, but thats just the game now. Same with software developers and film makers.

Mach X didn't post any pirated material himself or ask people to post links publicly, he asked to be contacted via PM. TOTA is a small community and for the most part we all know eachother, this isn't yahoo answers.

Look at the iphone thread. Page upon page of info about jailbreaking and hacks. I know theirs a difference of course, but lets be realistic, its marginal at best.

As novel as it is to pretend everyone will buy all the mp3s they have you need to be realistic with the times and understand people aren't going to put themselves in piles of debt just to have a legal mp3 collection. His music might not be your cup of tea but this is the right attitude imo:
