I download like crazy too. My friend has a server in Texas and one in California (owns) and he runs torrentflux off of part of one, which is on like a T1 connection or higher. It's great. Pretty much instant download to the server and then right onto my computer off a private high connection line :-D I have so many things I shouldn't hha... Photoshop CS2, FLStudio, Halo, Bf2142 Beta (I'm waiting for one without spyware), Madden 07, FEAR, Battlefield 2. And then I have a shit ton of songs but not as much as you. I only download what I actually listen to. I have 4 seasons of Viva La Bam. Only a couple movies like, Scary Movie 4, Benchwarmers. I'd have to look on my computer too post all of the shit I have, but I'm grounded from mine sad.gif Family comp=gay.

buying the artists work is a waste of time even if u really enjoy them

this is wut u should do..
download ther music, enjoy it, then if u really apreciate them send em $1 thru the net

they will be getting about 10x more profit, and ul b saving alot of cash

everyone wins

its not like the record companies are poor


ive noticed bands putting their music up on the net lately, thru myspace or even their official sites - they would prefer get ther name known , cuz the only way ther gona earn cash is thru gigs

well vicc, u sure roll on the floor alot so seems with shit not worth rolling biggrin.gif

anyways

why is it a waste of "time", but u probably ment "money";
and no dont say money is time and time is money or whatever cause that doesnt apply to u rafan,
to buy someones album?
the artists put money (equipment for example) and specially alot of time, for YOUR and my entertainment.
if u can entertain ureself alone, then no, dont buy it.
Why pay cops or other similar lawpeople for your safety?
wouldnt it be great if they would work for free? Not getting that piece of taxes you or your parents pay?
Well make a application for that law at your local government. biggrin.gif
Everybody loves to listen to music for example, specially me, and i think there are lots of more people who just "love" music.
U want to listen it everywhere, whatever u do, u wanna hear it in the background.
Music can make u laugh, can make u cry, can make u jump in the air and whatever u do when u hear music.
U dont pay every time u listen to it, u buy the album once, pay like 20 bux and thats it.
Whats 20 bux for 15/20 tracks of your favorite artist that u can listen for the rest of ure life (yes u can keep it as long as u can/want).
Can u be a entertainer rafan? Or u Vicc?
I promise u, if u can entertain me or make me cry or make me laugh with a track, i promise u, u pay u 20 bux for it.
deal?
u get it?
its not unfair.
not everyone could do it.
the ones who sell much albums, are often of a much higher level of perception of art then u and me.
and they sell much, and earn much chiching and their record companies earn more chiching.
if i could do it, i would to wanna earn chiching of that level by entertaining other people,

send them 1 bux for a album that ive downloaded and enjoyed...
everyone wins...
im not even gonna react to that, just ridiculous...

maybe people think different on this issue,
but if i think that they deserve the money, i pay whatever they ask for it.
20bux for a album is not much, 50bux for a game is not much, 100bux for a legitimate windows xp is not much.
they put effort in it, they create something that u CERTAINLY cannot, and they ask "money" for the effort and marksmanship they put into it.
im not afraid and certainly not backing off for paying money for entertainment.
Diablo is a masterpiece, u bought, and still play it. Thanks to the money you and me payed, they can throw more masterpieces at us.
Microsoft doesnt deal with all people who use illegal copies, they are not stupid, microsoft is certainly not stupid.
if they want, they block u or disable your os, but they dont, because they prefer name over money, cause they already got the billions.
they dont want legitimate or illegal clients to step over to linux or whatever. So be it, use it as long as u can.
And many artists think the same. They dont care if u buy it or not, as long as they have the fame and the people who pay for the albums,
as long as u dont make "money" bu illegaly downloading their work and selling it for personal profit.
Thats like stealing a cab, driving people around, keeping the money, then drop the cab back at its owner without the fueltank filled or whatever.

and maybe a small detail, people buy my work to, im not a artist,
but me and my team create progs on demand, like sql databases or whatever,
people can download such shit from the net and use it for free,
but still people prefer to buy it,
cause thats how "business" is done,
and thats the same in the music- and gamesindustry
u get what u deserve.

props.

im in a band that sold half as many CDs as people burned them. it is nearly impossible to make a living from playing live, without having a recording contract. and thats just silly...
