Downloading is legal in Finland.
Sharing is not.

Good day to you.

Besides, Archon shares it unselfishly on the Hub. I think if you want to bitch about what a bastard Archon is for selling trance, then stop downloading free trance yourself so then maybe you wont look like such a hypocrite.

he shares 1 slot of 308 gigs.

Can you back that up?

Selling Warez/mp3 is a very grey zone for me, I can't deciede for myself whether I like it or not, obviously it's not okay...

However, downloading mp3's made me stumble into Way Out West, which made me listening to them, finally I ended up buying all of their albums for the sake of sound quality..

Yes, selling MP3s/pirated audio cds is bad.

fr0st, what does the amount shared have to do with slots? by the rules directly from the hub, number of slots depends on speed, and for DSL, the slots are 1/3. I'm usually sharing 2-3 because i grant slots, not to you obviously, cause you're one bitter mofo, but to nice people.

What about selling downloaded warez, like Adobe, MS Windows, Office, etc.? Do you treat that the same as MP3s?

Originally posted by Arbiter That is correct. If it weren't for downloading mp3s, I would still be one of those people who thinks trance is "techno", and I would have never bought a single thing from any trance artist. I guarentee you there are another few thousand members of this forum that could tell you the same thing. mp3s = exposure = interest = purchases = profits One might go so far as to say that downloading mp3s helps the industry. Unless of course you're referring to pop, which already has all the exposure it needs.

iam affraid iam gona hav 2 totaly agree with that post.............without mp3'z sum/maby most trance artists wud neva hav been heard of

selling mp3'z on cd'z 2 people that u don't no (like a little business) isn't right, but it happens and arguing on the net aint gona stop it

wtf

Well my $.06 (Adjusted for inflation): If hes just burning copies and passing them out, well all the people he gives them to could just download it themselves anyways. But whats wrong is accepting money for those copies, you are basically profiting off someone elses hard work.

Ok, downloading and listening to mp3's. I don't see nothign wrong with that. Mp3's showed many people what Trance is. But burning them and selling??? Archon says it goes towards hard drive space??It's still wrong. Get it straight. And you go to college? Woohoo. So do I, and I work. I pay for my Hard drive space. I pay for my connection. I buy cd's. I'm saving up for dex. Instead of bitching and maybe you should stop selling cd's and with that time you save get a real job and then buy some hard drive space...Never thought of that one did you m8.

cheers

benfica: first of all i'm not bitching as you're saying. 2nd, i don't know about your major but mine keeps me busy all the time every day, even on weekends, so getting a job is not my choice right now, and don't treat me like i'm a little boy:

I did and my decision is I can't work right now, that should be none of your business anyway.
