Re: only scare tactics i have bought a total of One (1) CD in the last four years.
if i really must hear a certian song, there are plenty of ways to do so without paying the enormous amount $$ that the RIAA thinks they deserve. the ITMS is one of the best things to come around in the history of music. pay a buck, get a song. simple as it should be.

If you're paying for music, you're supporting the RIAA.

he didn't say he's not supporting the RIAA, he said not paying the enormous amount they THINK they deserve...which IMHO is the only "right" thing to do.
its wrong to "positively reinforce" the RIAA's behavior by continuing to purchase their inflated albums.
it is also wrong to steal music (only morally & legally  )
so finding a cheap, legal alternative way to purchase a few songs is the way to go...you usually end up skipping half of the garbage that's on cd's anyway |

Most of the online music services wind up being as or more expensive per song than what you'd pay in the record store. Wile purchasing the whole CD, you get 12-17 songs and pay $15-$20, it only works out to a little over a dollar a track, you have to add in that with the CD (which isn't node-locked in its default format), you get the media, you get the jewel case and you get the liner notes. Minus the cost of those extras, your per-track cost drops to less than $1. So, how is paying for "legal alternatives" cheaper and costing the RIAA and associates anything?

You are correct regarding the entire cd....but it is cheaper to pay $2-5 for the few quality tracks on the album instead of 17 for the whole album...thats all I was saying. |
