Now if only we can get through to the artists that mp3 piracy is good then that would be great.

I don&#39;t care what the businessmen say. I care what the artists say. Well that&#39;s just because my favorite band (Stratovarius if anyone cares <_<) is anti mp3 piracy. I wish they just understood the benefits of it. They think artists lose money. Well they thought wrong. :lol:

Not just detestable bands like Metallica are against the mp3 pirates. :angry:

The internet should be a place of FREEDOM where all things including information, data and files should be free to access and/or download

It sometimes annoys me when big companies or entire industry&#39;s try to commersialise the internet :angry:

:D kazaalite is #1 for mp3&#39;s, film&#39;s and software :D

The writer of that article and the people who did the "research" seemed to have missed a very important point- most albums only have one or two songs that I would want anyway.
Usually the rest is just filler.

Or even worst, some CD collections, like the remarkable "Ken Burns Jazz" collection, sell for a massive amount of money when you only want maybe ten songs.

Exactly.
Every time I buy a rack of blank CDs now, I prefer to call it my "Best of Britney Spears Collection". :P

Love that&#33; But then I have a ton of mp3s to upload most of them by people youve never heard of and/or people who were dead before DOS PCs came out.
