Legal, Illegal, or Neither

Canadian Brotha · 10-22-2009, 03:14 PM

I rarely download music online but that doesn't exclude me from the category of people that do. I usually do on odd occasions when I'm not able to get an album/song I want that I'm really into in a reasonable amount of time. Also, in cases when I owned the album previously & then lent it to someone & lost it. Then if I miss some songs I'll look them up. I usually have to reinstall Limewire every time I download as I purposely remove it so as not to use it too often. I'm a musician so I support the buying of albums plus I personally like owning albums, having the CD jackets, etc

nightrain · 10-22-2009, 03:19 PM

I buy mp3s from amazon sometimes. They have some really good deals

Frostwire Peer to Peer client = free music downloads - make sure you have good firewall and virus scan

banjerbanjo · 10-23-2009, 01:31 PM

No, I do not. I'm strongly against downloading music illegally. It's okay if it's legal, but I don't do it. I like having the artwork and everything else that comes with it.

Lately, I don't even buy cds anymore. I much prefer the sound of vinyl. Cds and digital downloads sound too sterile to me.

I plead the fifth.

njodis · 10-23-2009, 01:57 PM

I can't even remember the last time I actually bought a CD.

NeedleInTheHay · 10-23-2009, 02:13 PM

i have over 35,000 mp3's and i didnt pay for a single one... hooray for me and **** you riaa

bowlingpins · 10-23-2009, 02:29 PM

No, I don't download, rather I listen legally to streaming music online. I have a few songs I d/led but that was years ago.

TorLin · 10-23-2009, 02:59 PM

i download music, movies, pictures, tv shows, but im pleading the fifth about how i get it.

Chrysalii · 10-23-2009, 04:10 PM

both.
Though I prefer to have a CD as well.

Banzai · 10-23-2009, 04:43 PM

Yes.

Thomas Paine · 10-23-2009, 05:15 PM

I used to record songs off the radio onto cassette tape, *****es!

I'm an OP (Original Pirate). Not like these punk kids today with their interwebs, youtubes, and their insync eyepods.

I better plead the fifth on that. MC DP's posse is pretty dangerous.

Homersxchild · 10-23-2009, 06:08 PM

I only have a limited amount of money coming in, and I'm a huge music fan. So what do I do? I buy the physical cds of the bands/singers that I am hardcore fan of. I download the rest by... other methods.

I'll usually ask for albums that I don't have for holidays, and when I get them, I delete the offensive downloads, and load in the purchased album. So, eventually I'll pay for it all, well, maybe not all. Some music I like, but I don't think it's worth buying just because I 'kind of' like it.

UltraShy · 10-24-2009, 01:47 AM

No

Duke of Prunes · 10-24-2009, 11:01 AM

Yes, illegally. Although I usually end up getting a real copy instead though because it's nigh impossible find proper lossless copies of some stuff and MP3s just don't cut it.

KyleThomas · 10-24-2009, 11:11 AM

I tend to buy individual tracks from iTunes, though I used to use less legitimate sources.

teniralc21 · 10-24-2009, 05:11 PM

Only legally.
