Hired to Irritate → Re: Don't You Get It?

Have you ever even been to a library 1000? Probably not. You may find them handy on the road loser.

PS

How many caps you going to use this time? You are trying to scream at me via a computer. Do you yell at the bands you are trying to promote as well? I bet they will drop you the first chance they get.

Hooba what is with you? For someone non-registered and on a public network you sure seem to like to provoke. So far you have hardly tried to respond to the actual arguments put in front of you. Instead you have resorted to personal attacks (and you call others immature?). I want to address a few things you have conveniently not responded to:

1) Mp3's cannot contain viruses. You say WMA files can have malicious code in it. Where do you get your facts? Please provide them. I know Window Media Player can be messed with, but that's a different animal. So either your lying about your hacker friends or they don't really know what they are talking about.

2) I know many indie labels and artists as well as well known artists who either advocate P2P or don't care that their songs are being shared. How many labels and artists do you actually know that oppose file sharing? Are they very local and practice at their parent's garage? Are the labels making less than 1000 albums? Are they marketing themselves enough to where they are actually seeing a considerable loss in revenue due to P2P?

And since when is a few words done in caps considered all caps? THIS IS ALL CAPS. YOU WOULD THINK THAT YOU WOULD KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. Few words capped means those words are stressed (chat room/message board 101).

Give me a break. Using all caps in a sentence is a way to yell via your computer. All cap sentences are considered rude by even novice computer users.

If you took the time to read my second post you will learn that I don't support the RIAA and that fans can help musicians by downloading songs from a artist owned sight directly. I don't think fans should pay $18 for only a few songs they like. If fans can spare a $1.00 or $1.50 a song and purchase direct from the artist they can do away with the major labels. Not paying for what they like will never give any musician any power because they will be forced to join a major label who will market them.

It's true that I don't know very many bands with under 1000 cd's sold. I'm usually around bands that have sold 100,000 cd's and up. If a musician wants to give away their music that is fine. As long as they make that choice. P2P does not give a band that choice.

As far a viruses go, I'm not going to paste the different codes that can be hidden in various media that will ruin a PC or MAC. Nor will I give you the url's to various hacker sites. I suggest you to talk to a programmer that gets paid $80,000 a year or more to work legit. As him/her if viruses can easily be written into media files.

I only make personal attacks when I am personally attacked. If someone puts me down then I return the favor. If someone yells at me on the computer I still have enough self-control not to use all caps and try and yell at them back. I am always willing to debate and learn knew things. The other poster actually put me down for going to a library. She then suggests that I don't even have a computer. Hmm...I am a business person and I travel. I own a P4, 2.4GHZ, 333BUS, 1GigRAM, 80gig hard drive, DVD/CDR laptop. At work I have a T1 line and in my home I have a DSL.

My theme here is that if you like a song pay a buck or two for it or borrow your friends cd. If you like enough songs on it then pay $14-$18 for it.
