Re: the Birth of Dissent, and a Brief History of Record Industry Suicide.
Am I the only person that doesn't own an ipod or share music downloads?
Sure I'll let a friend listen to a disc by reproducing it. Most of the time the person buys it. In any event it exposes the artist to more listeners. There's no commercial gain for me other than the satisfaction of someone else's pleasure. And again, the artist benefits.
I'm not sending a disc I bought to someone to hear through the mail.
To me this is the same as copying a song onto your ipod.
I don't have any moral stand for or against file sharing - I just don't have any time or interest in it. Isn't there enough music out there?
I'll tell you what pisses me off. Seeing Salem Hill's "Mimi's Magic Moment" on a pirate website BEFORE the release, at three dollars a song.
