Also - how many of you never downloaded illegal music? Hmmmm, be honest. I downloaded a bunch myself.
|
I download my music, yes. Without paying, yes. But I just a couple of days ago bought 5 mp3's because I had a few euros in my PayPal which I didn't find any better use for and have also bought music mostly on vinyl before. And a bunch of shirts too, although that has nothing to do with music since the sound they make sucks, but they look cool. And a stupid mask. And a fan. And the Proteus' The Nature Of The Beast CD right before I went to see him play live, just because I happened to read about the new CD and his gig at pretty much the same time.
I'm happy to pay for music which I like. Currently I don't have nearly enough money to be used in that, so I don't buy much these days but I do open me wallet when I get the chance. I'm happy to pay for other good products of course, like games, software, anime, films and whatever. It's nice to have the chance to try before buy.
Edit: 5, not 4 mp3. Idiot. |

| So what, do the French have to register an official e-mail address with the post office so that the government knows where to contact them? :rolleyes: |

I don't see anything wrong here. I mean, you can blame it on the music industry's business model all you want, but clearly it's their loss. People will simply stop buying music in the same quantities if the model is so bad, and the industry will be forced to change in order to increase demand again. It's economics at work, but the illegal downloading places a distortion on the whole thing that allows the music industry to cast blame outward.
I see this as a good development - it enforces a law already on the books, and increases accountability for the business practices of an industry that will likely be forced to make some changes. |
