Re: Once you get bad rep, it is hard to fix that

No. IMHO these record companies took way too long to address what the public wanted--unprotected mp3's. Their pricing is still way off as most CD's you purchase are alot cheaper per song.

But then again the RIAA was looking in their best interests all along right? xD

The same goes for the movie studios but they are truly hindered by not so fast downloads speeds from most ISP's. What is truly hilarious here is that bit torrent technology could help them alot but they choose to demonize it and will continue to lose money to piracy because they refuse to think outside the box.

I d/l stuff I shouldn't only because it isn't available for purchase and I'm sure there are many others who feel the same way. I'd rather pay for a high quality rip I can call my own.

how so? a CD with 12 songs for $15 is $1.25 per song. Also one of the excuses people gave as to why they illegally download was that they were tired of paying for a full CD that only had 3 or 4 songs they actually liked. So now you can get those 4 sogns for $4. How is that expensive? Sure beats paying $12-$15 for a CD. I assume if you like a song you probaby plan on listening to it at least 100 times within your lifetime. So at $1 per song that's 1¢ for every time you hear it. Is that too much for a song you really really like? That's about 15¢-20¢ an hour to listen to your favorite music. What other entertainment option is that cheap? Movies, DVDs, video games? cable? I guess cable could be if you watched it 12-15 hours a day.
