soulseekret
anybody? I'm defenitely not a fan of the "illegal", but I love this. I give it about 4 weeks before I buy whatever I have been into on there.
And for the record, I think most of the people that I know who DO download illegaly end up funding record industries more than people who don't download. What I mean is that most of the people I know buy records about a week after they listened to some random album they downloaded.
IMHO the average person who downloads the newest top-ten hit, and never buys that album - and does that for a year straight, or longer - is the worst enemy of the RIAA (or THEIR beliefs). The RIAA's best friend is the music lover who downloads a couple of albums a week - maybe shit his friend told him about, or whatever - and then saves all his pennies to buy that album 2 weeks later. Those kinds of bands would never have the audience otherwise.

pm me please

It's a peer to peer app.Girl Toes wrote:What are you talking about?
Ilegal stuff is the 1,000 lb elephant in the middle of every musician's life. Maybe you've never pirated a cd, but you can't count the members of your peer group that haven't been involved in some aspect of intellectual property theft. Why not? Because they all have, to some degree or another: there's no-one left to count. The only people I know who never possesed pirated intellectual property have lacked the means to obtain it - none of them lacked the desire. There is no reason to assume this board isn't the same.
I'm tempted to write a long missive about this - I've yet to see anyone address it from the point of view of reality, or go beyond the knee-jerk and emotional arguments, for or against. Tempted, but I'm afraid to post it anywhere that people might associate it with me :>

I have bought so much music because of P2P shit it's sick.
P2P is / was the new radio.

Re: soulseekret
mr. dig, please elaborate. Do so as long as you don't incriminate yourself legally - like I have, with my slsk admittion coupled to my tapeop username coupled to my profile which gives my email address, which could give my IP address, which could bring a stiff lawsuit for the 10 albums on my computer that I don't own - out of the 5000 songs i share.
The only reason that I share as many files as I do, and incriminate myself to the RIAA as like I do is because I know most of the users I shae with, and I know that they buy most of the albums they download from me and don't yet have.
God bless the RIAA.... (heavy quotes on the dot dot dot) I hope they do a search and find this post. I hope they reconsider what they are doing to injure their self-interest..

it originally began as a primarily underground electronic sharing community... but naturally it progressed to people with all sorts of tastes.
