This guy ain't fighting for my rights.
He's fighting artists rights for a fair return on their investment.
I just don't get how people think it's their "right" to do what they want with other people's property.
Hey you don't like the system...go change it or don't play in the sandbox.
If someone makes a set of keys that will get you into the bank that is charging you crazy interest rates are you going to use them too?
The fact is you can buy CD's and DVD's. And in most cases listen or watch where and when you want for as long as you want.
Pay a bit less for downloads and get a few restrictions thrown in. So where is the crime?
This guy is not helping you listen he's enabling you to share which is stealing...the end.
The guy is a rip off artist with no concern for anything but his own distorted view of how he sees life.
I have no love for the way some record co's do business but until they and the artists come up with a better way ...well it's their property and their loss if you don't want to buy. No one is forcing you to purchase these downloads.
Stealing is stealing.
But I guess our brave new society doesn't care about honesty anymore![]()
So I didn't buy the right to listen to a song? I thought that's what the record companies have been telling me for years. You don't 'own' the song, just the right to listen it. So, when I want to listen to it on my computer (or any other device) I'm now not allowed? Talk about circular logic.
And honesty? You're kidding right? People are buying songs thinking they are being honest and doing the right thing (helping artists, etc...), but then they can't play the song on anything else but their iPod. So in your world I need to buy the CD to play in my car, buy the mp3 to play on my ipod (but it twice actually b/c sometimes I listen to it on my computer), then buy the ring tone, and then pay for it anytime I happen to hear it on the radio.
