people who worry about disney's profits probably LIKE being watched...

 

the robots are doing the shadows bidding.

this world is getting fucking creepy.

 

Net Lifting will be the new term for such activity If you are a net lifter, then in the new dictionary of the future, it will mean, Someone who downloads music for free, downloads everything for free without paying the distributer.


Personally the law is contradictory. We have the government harping on like some hidious church organ, about how it is illegal to download music. But then there are perfectly legal download sites with the same music which on other sites would be deemed illegal to download due to consent withdrawn or something. Of course, the face of music is changing. Even yesterday, people were looking for ways to get something for nothing. In the digital era, even a five year old could download an album and then put it on his MP3 player and then distribute it under a different title and then set forth his inherited music catalogue. Yet the businesses like Vazzi and HMV close down because with the increase of free download sites, come the inevitable hoards of people who trample down the music shops under their hooves to log onto such download sites. It is ashame because being if you ever became a musician and got a record contract. Somewhere someplace, someone would be downloading your song for free and you would get nowt for your years of dedication. So ultimately our music industry is set to go into recession.

 

if you had read an earlier post of mine [seems to have been ignored] than you would have seen that i was a musician

played hundreds of times in sf punk clubs

many times even for free

i do not understand millionaire musicians

most of their music is shit anyways

a recession [a depression] is the best thing that could ever happen to the music industry

most of these pop stars should really be bank clerks [apologies to mes]

 

john,

i have tried to present as many [reasonable and unreasonable] arguments as possible

you have presented one, support the music industry

well, i say, and then [out]

fuck the music industry

fuck industry

fuck

 

HMV are thriving, theyre in no hurry to shut down - trust me. Alot of musicians want you to download their music... Legal or not - they would get more from downloading than not buying or downloading it. Not everyone can buy and it's music, everyone should be able to listen to music imo... What are they gonna sell next - air??

 

they already do

wiki oxygen bar

we are in hell

 

oops i was supposed to be [out] of this thread

i cannot leave it behind

just as i cannot live without music

and cannot afford to buy music

time to go download something

what's new at youandmeonajamboree.blogspot.com?

 

Get me a copy of Wombats when you next go to HMV. Take a foil coated bag then the barcode will not trigger the alarm. It is because I have no way of downloading stuff at the moment. I figured you could just nick a copy. I mean everyone has a right to music. In some ways, you are doing the music lovers a favour Also, get me Now 69.

 

I think people should be more honest and stand outside EMI and mug the artists and executives who go in and out - why bother to make em poor by downloading their music when you can just rob their money at knifepoint?

 

what the fuck is hmv?

if there is one in glendive i will go in with a gun and empty the whole store for you

 

Is there anything apart from you and a mountain goat in Glendive? whaddaya mean, what is HMV? Well let me give ya a clue it doesnt sell potatoes

 

no mountains here

possibly some goats tho

hmv sounds like a disease

[potatoes...mmm...time for lunch]

 

Really not sure so correct me if wrong but been said that lendin or reselling second hand music or copyrighted material is legal coz the artist or wat ever got paid 4 it once. But i always thought it work by ya only buy the rite t listen t or use so ya dont really own nothing only the rite t use it.

 

the guy who shares files on the internet probably paid for it once too

and the files we get are only crappy mp3s

 

But heres the real argument:

They cannot stop people downloading pirated songs, so what all the companies are doing is making the tour prices higher - merchandising costs more, also they will charge a flat price per track with no digital rights management (all media formats and the ability to copy the tracks) Artists and the companies are satisfied that with lower prices more people will pay

Of course the revenue will also increase and EMI along with all other major labels have now accepted the market will soon phase out the cd and the format is now digital downloads. They have also accepted they will not regulate the downloads or constrain the purchaser with DRM

Just to bring you into the 21st century on this
these are the plans that Sony have for the second hand DVD, music cd, and games market

Wait, so they want to make it so that if you buy a CD you can only play it on one system. so stick it in your PC and your done. you can not take that same cd and put it in your car cd player, or in a discman, or in your 360 to rip the tracks for play during gaming, etc.

what a load of bollocks that is.

 

i agree, nobody buys sep cds for home, car, work, etc

fud

Actually i think they want it so you would make multiple copies for all your disc drives then when you have enough play the copies and keep the original pristine

But they did say as its impractical they just want to make sure that if they cant do it nobody can do it
