Hey fellas how's it been
(Manitoubalck, manitoublack, banned, bandagain, Opteron (password is athlon64, you can only read post form this user if your logged in ) I 95% sure I have over 1000 posts under these various usernames.
Hey Rower

I'm just offering a semi valid point of view. Remember that currently (as I believe) all music downloaded in AUS is done for free. And I dare say the payed for download services in the USA and UK only represent a small fraction of the download market. While I aknowlege that it is theft, It's like 2 minors having sex. It's illegal, but you can't regulate it.

Laws are rules that society agrees upon to regulate itself and promote fair and ethical behaviour. Laws are there to provide equal protection for everyone from harms, based upon experience and wisdom. They are fundamental to civilisation's longterm survival and progress. By being part of a particular society you are agreeing to the bonds that make up that society. If you disagree you can always seek out a society whos values are more your own.

Just because you can break laws doesn't mean that harm doesn't flow from your actions or that you aren't risking more than you expect. In a good democracy laws should steer us away from risks and harms...under age sex being a good example of where risks can dramatically alter ones life for ever and for which society tries to protect us from.

You may think you're a very small part of an absolutely huge and prolific abuse of music owners rights...but that hardly makes it right or mitigates that fact that your are part of that harm.

Given the chance to have a string of 1's and 0's for free, or to buy it for ~$2.00AUD (we won't get the $1.00USD the people in the states get.) What you do? Keeping in mind you are not actually recieving a physical product.

Pay the $2. Don't sacrifice your honor for a few crappy songs. As they say, a hole is the heart is far worse than a hole in the wallet.

ahhhh.......the memories. you can't keep away can you.

i will be glad to see the end of the physical product.
give me 0's and 1's.
give me the range of music an online store can deliver rather than the 50 best selling cd's a cd store offers.
if you are interested in anything outside of mainstream pop you are struggling to find anything locally.
all your arguments are flawed.
you are trying to justify your law breaking.
you can't.
just admit it.
if you are going to do it, just do it, don't try and justify it.

welcome back. how long before j.allen gets banned?
