Poll reveals fans' downloading and copying habits
Tue 17 Jun, 2008
Firstly, surely it's within someone's rights if they purchase an album or a track and then choose to share it with others for free ?? Personally speaking, being an avid music fan whom likes to listen to new stuff all the time and keep abrest of the latest bands / artists within the music world, i 'obtain', on average, about 10 new albums EACH WEEK, either by downloading torrents or via pirate copied CD's, my philospophy being that if I like them, then i buy the original. if i were to purchase all albums i want to listen to each week, in their original format, then based on an average CD price of £10 (some being lower and some being higher), then this would cost me more than £100 each week!!! obvioulsy this is not an option and i'd imagine would not be to most working class folk. my general outlook is that i'd rather listen to music (using whatever means necessary) than be in a position where i cant afford to purchase originals and therefore not listen to something at all, hence my approach. maybe if the CD's were sold at a more acceptable price which reflected their actual production cost, then i would perhaps be in a position to purchase them 'legally'. then i shouldnt use that term because in my opinion it should not be deemed 'illegal' in the first place, thats a term brought about by greedy record company big wigs who are just f*cked off cos their massive and over inflated profits are taking a hammering by the people that count !!!f*ck em all !!!!!!!! its simple hobson's choice: drop CD prices or learn to live with it !!!!!!
