with the price of a cd. (&#036;12.00-16.00-21.00<==if if double) is not a surprise that the "sharing" comunnity have grown so fast.

i rather pay &#036;30.00 to 50.00 for a good concert (is like a vacation, a experience that you&#39;ll never foget) than &#036;16.00 for a crappy cd with maybe 2 good songs.
Music is now more about quantity than quality.

that&#39;s my theory also. i will pay to see a band or music act live in concert to support them. i also like to go to theatres and watch new releases if they interest me enough. i also but a lot of DVD&#39;s too but for music and progs and games i&#39;ll download that shit in a heartbeat.

or at least as fast as my 56k will let me&#33;

I also agree with that&#33;

I would even pay over the odds for certain acts&#33; But as for CD albums, rarely&#33; VERY rarely is a album 100% mint&#33; Plus the fact of the actual Artist hardly gets fuck all from the revenue&#33;&#33;&#33;

AND, does anyone agree with this...?

The music industry blames mostly piracy for the permanently increasing prices, when actually, I think it&#39;s the other way round, Piracy is increasing because the cost of living is permanently going up, including the price of music&#33; If singles were still £1.99, Id still fork out for the remixes and maybe the enhanced CD video, but £4&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;? I don&#39;t fucking think so&#33; If singles are really worth £4 each, then an albums worth for £15 is actually a bargain&#33; (I don&#39;t think) - then bare in mind that albums seem to be containing less and less tracks nowadays (Roger Sanchez&#39;s last album had 10 tracks&#33

There are still music producers out there that give you quality for your money (such as Dr. Dre, 2001 was pukka - every track&#33; over 20&#33 but 99.9% of them are in it for the money, not the music, so fuck them - let&#39;s be honest, how many people would REALLY be that bothered if every single boy and girl band&#39;s record labels went bust anyway?&#33; lol

Imagine a world where...

All Good Porn was legal&#33; (Not sick kid stuff though&#33

Weed was legal&#33;

Filesharing was legal&#33;

Fags were available on subscription&#33;

The minimum wage was £20 per hour&#33;

Funfairs had games where you can throw freshly servered limbs of peadofiles at other peadofiles&#33;




WOW&#33; What a dream&#33; LoL

I also promote the Play for Pay theory. Let them tour, and I&#39;ll keep coming to see them. That&#39;s why they got into the business in the first place. B)

I was listening to Radio 1 with Jo Whiley last week (UK) and she had Blur on who was playing live. She did an interview with them, and asked them what they thought of file-sharing on the internet and pirated music, and the answer, i thought, was amazing&#33; And as a music producer/writer myself, I completely 100% agree with them.

This is roughly how it went:

Jo: "So what do you think of File Sharing on the net and pirating music?"

Blur: "We make music for people to listen to. Our main goal is to make the world hear our music, not to make 10 million pounds&#33; People who are against file sharing are just greedy, selfish people who do not care at all about music, just money - the reason there&#39;s so much rubbish around today. We want the world to hear our music, whether they&#39;ve had to pay for the marketing, advertising, cd case, cd sleeve and the bus to the shop to get the cd, or whether they&#39;ve effortlessly sat at home and downloaded it for free, either way is a step closer to ANY REAL musician&#39;s goal&#33;"

What a MINT answer eh?&#33;&#33;&#33;

i love it

Either that, or they can promote Nike or Tampons for cash.
