In the eyes of the law, all that you have said is correct. Now to reality; most people do not want to "pony up" the $20 for a piece of digital crap, i.e. a CD with 4 good songs on it. This has been going on forever, way back to the 80's. How many one hit wonders did the 80's turn out? Don't ppl who bought T'Pau's album deserve a refund for the 8 songs that never made it on the radio because they sucked? Ppl are getting sick of the music industry selling them an inferior product, meaning a CD with 2 hit-worthy songs and just filler crap in the rest. 2-4 songs are NOT worth 19.98 or even 12.98 to me. I won't buy anything anymore without hearing the entire album and liking at least 80% of the album, and then unless it's at most 14.98 USD.

And why can't we download things that we've already paid for but no longer have the physical media due to destruction or oh the irony- theft? I've bought every Metallica album all the way up to Reload...I will NOT but them again if my tape got mangled or stolen. They got my money once, I paid for the right to hear those songs. I never signed any licence agreement, I never saw on any of those discs, " You must keep this media if you wish to transfer it's contents to another". I say it's all crooked crap and millions of others agree. When they can make something as complete as Kazaa or Soulseek at 50 cents a song then come talk to me about buy before try.

Let's also remember human nature to be defiant, such as yourself jaywalking in the first place. You knew as well it was illegal but you wanted to do it anyway..

edit: spelling crap

As long as I am not using them to describe you, don't go telling me whether or not I can/should use them...that is, if you want me to continue refraining from using them to describe you. ~Prince Last edited by Holo; 09-11-2003 at 10:10 AM..
