'ISPs don't work for the RIAA' → Re: EFF - Encouraging Fraudulent Filesharing

Or they can legally copy said music off the raido, if it airs.

Because I believe if I am to use CD-quality music, I feel the need to pay for the CD it comes on. However, there are very, very few CDs worth the price of a full retail purchase (ie. $15). Most CDs only have one...maybe two tracks worth listening to, and that isn't worth the price. I simply wait for the market to take over, and pick myself up a copy of said CD once it hits the bargain bin at a music store.

As for why I don't use legal downloading? I think paying similar costs for lesser-quality product loaded in DRM isn't worth my dime. CDs have always been fine, and I don't need to worry about how many of my computers/devices the music's on.

How about the "best of" and anthology type CDs? You get nothing but the hits and at a good price. That is the only way I buy CDs.

If I post just to post I would not be here for the past three year's. Frankly as you can see I got a job and thing's to do. I only came here to share my point of view and it offends me when people speak as if they know it all.

Sure a new business model is needed, iTMS is a great example of that change. But frankly I am not going to waste my time arguing because you think what I am saying is pure fallacy.

Believe as you wish, but to break this down to the simplest form is that in fact you are stealing no matter which way you look at it.

There is a huge difference between radio quality and CD quality. But yes you can legally copy, I believe there was a huge war just like this but it was in regards to people recording radio on tape and calling it stealing.

This could or is the same issue all over again but probably for CD. If music is an art, or a form of expression it should have not been a business model to begin with.

That's about a 50/50 crapshoot, honestly. Sometimes a "best of" can be awesome, and have literally their "best of" songs. However, others will stray with the CD, again only including 2-3 tracks of good music, and the rest filled with the "best of" crap music filler.

Again, if a CD's worth the price, I'll buy it. For the other one-track temptations, I'll just wait for them to be offered at a better price.

I dunno. Many of these digital tuners put out "close-to" CD sound for me. Maybe my ears aren't picky enough, or my speakers not adequately fancy, but the difference between a good FM feed and a CD are small. There's certainly a difference, but the price is right for the quality you get. Much more so than a $15 CD for a single desired track.

I never said that. I said what I said because you just gloss over the points I tried to make and just go back to saying what you have already said.
I also do not believe in stealing.
Until there is a law that is clear and fair to the consumer as well as big business and there also is in place a fair business model ,I personally do not believe they are stealing.

CD quality is a direct recording and there is no compression which is why it sounds better and yes there is a difference because it's never been compressed and straight from the mixer.

Each file is saved in .wav or .aiff and burned to CD in that form. The compression you put is when you import the CD in MP3/AAC format.

Radio is 64kbps audio. Maybe for the average joe there isn't much of a difference but for a audiophile there is.

You can create your own iMixes on iTunes as long as the music is in the store and do it that way.

They go by "Christmas Essentials" or "Trance Hits" created by users. The business model provided by iTMS is flexible and the audio is cheaper because it's compressed and delivered online.

I am pretty sure you did say a new business model was needed.

Or are you simply referring about how I "think" you believe what I am saying is fallacy?
