hi,
Im writing a dissertation on music:huh: file sharing and would like to know why people use file sharing. I Would also like to know how much music you roughly download per month....
if you post your comments I will be very grateful! :D
p.s This is just for my uni work :cool:
In my case it's because I don't have enough money to pay for certain software, albums, etc. (my country's exchange rate doesn't help either, to convert from euros to my local currency you have to multiply by 5 :blink:), or simply don't want to.Quote:

for me Filesharingtalk this is best of the best forum :)
He said filesharing, not FST :D
I guess...to share files? :)
As already stated, the main reason to download are the way too high prices out there. Sharing involves a variety of factors, and the most common one is the sense of community. And not only meant as a tracker community.
I download like less than 5 gb of music per month :P
If you would like to listen to music, you need a method to do this obviously. With the improvement of technology digital music became practical.Quote:

Today MP3-Players are popular for music listening, and file sharing is a great way to charge them with music, so I guess that's why people use it.
Takes 6mths before music from the US gets here. So thanks to H3X (and other grps know for leaks) I can get it a month before the US does :P.Quote:

Why should I wait x amount longer just because of my location? That's if it's not banned by the time it gets here :shutup:.
Thrill of the chase.
dont get caught up in the "i like to share, anti big business" crap. its plain and simple, coz i get dozens and dozens of films,music,appz etc for 6quid pm from NG. done.
I download less than 1GB mp3 per month.
I do it for many reasons, way too many.
But to enumerate one of the most important ones, the comfort. One click away, nearly instantly I get the album, and I pay nothing.
Is this perfect? Yes, it is.
I use both torrents and usenet (mostly the latter).
