| Re: 3000 Out of Millions I buy from iTunes and found some songs won't transfer to my iPod. When I see that happen...I download the song from whatever means I find.
I usually don't pirate music. I will download TV shows and watch them because of my schedule, I miss them sometimes. I don't have a tivo and won't pay 12.00 a month for one when I can download the file and watch it..then delete it if I don't want to see it again. To me that's the same as using a VCR. The only time I will try to "pirate" music is one of the following reasons:
My CD's break/get scratched....so on. This is why I usually rip my CD's so I can have a copy, if I didn't I will download it.
I want to listen to one song, then I download one song, If I like it I'll buy it, if not, I delete it..honestly. I have a limited amount of space on my HDD and I don't need it taken up by crap (which is most music is now anyway).
Or I buy it and it won't transfer to my iPod..then I'll download it. I've already bought it anyway so I have no problem downloading it.
Personally, I feel guilty if I steal music without paying, which is why I pay for what I want. I won't buy CD's because it's 12-20 dollars of a couple good songs and the rest is complete rubbish. My other opinion is this, If I download a song and listen to it a few times and hate it..then delete it...the RIAA didn't loose anything anyway. If I didn't download it, then I would have borrowed a CD from a friend to listen to it until I got board of it and given back. The point is I wouldn't have listened to the song in the first place if I had to buy it, so I wouldn't have had any exposure to the artist because I don't listen to the radio (to many commercials) or I wouldn't have bought the CD/song because I got bored of it after two days.
