No wtf? what about all the artists? They will quit and no music to download.
up
have to say NO.
There's a fine line between trying b4 buying and outright keeping.
Why would artists continue to make music if they aren't getting properly paid for it? The existing big names could probably get away with it with endorsements and concerts, but it'd be the end to young and struggling groups who need the money to improve.
I have vote no, iff they legalize it, weres the fun in the file sharing, it will lose the carisma.... i like the illigal stuf, well thats my opinion
dang edmund i was going to say that lol. but yeah the fun would go away.
i voted yes, but i think it should still be no but we are gonna download it anyway :D
Agreed... 100%.Quote:

Just realised this was ancient..but yeah, probably been said, but the result is obviously biased.
It's a lesser of two evils I think, if you legalize it, it would still go on, but the danger and mystique about illegal file sharing would be gone. Thus, a lot of the culture surrounding it would change. Our parents generation bought Beatles albums and smoked dope because they knew their parents wouldn't like it. And they were right!
Now look what their kids are doing.... what will our kids do??

Kind of a bit ironic that people are voting against file sharing on a file sharing website.
Artists make more money off tours then they ever do from the cd's so there's still incentive to produce more content. Regardless whether it's legalized or not people will still want to buy them.
Downloading music is perfectly legal around here. This is due to the extra tax on blank CDs that goes to the artists. Sounds reasonable to me.
It wouldn't be fun if it were legal. :happy:
I agree and voted for YES. Files can be shared with a understanding between the people. But, Trust and faith here, acts atmost care.
damn them big corporations they got enough money as it is! so i vote "yes"
if all the money went to the artist then i would vote "no" I think Prince AKA symbol has the right idea, I would pay to download his music (If i liked it).
No, it's more fun as long as it's illegal :whistling
legalised or not it's here to stay
as long as it is for your own use and not for profit i see nothing wrong with this . its there for the taking why not be able to use it.
I say it should be legalized, just so nobody that's just like everybody else can be arrested and have their lives ruined just because some company would want to. The basis is it isn't right, but everyone's doing it. Music people make enough and people still buy the music of beginning artists
it should stay the way it is, cuz if it was legal then everyone would download their music,....i like watching people spending $15+ on a cd or dvd..........
Yeah true i just realized that too, i voted yes but i should have voted no.Quote:

So No it should stay the way it is and even it should even go more underground.:ph34r:
Thats a legit explanation, didnt think of it that way. But i've read articles about how the artists should use their music (mainly albums) as promotional tools rather than a source of income. This way, their live music concerts will have a greater amount of people and more attention. I think it should be this way but of course some people dont like live music as much as I do and probably will just take free music and drive musicians broke.Quote:

man file sharing is Illegalize for me anyways lol
No no no!
illegal makes more fun
of cours yes every one here is pirating this shits
I think it should be legal until they decide to lower the prices on all the stuff people download illegally. It's all such a rip off.
Besides, this downloading illegally thing, I can think of numerous ways I'm saving the environment, which is far more important to me than helping celebrities afford their Hummers....
I think they should also start making sick ass cds.....not just 5 or 6 good songs on the whole album. I want all the songs to be good!
I think it's interesting that this is a file sharing forum and yet 21% of the people who voted don't think there should be legalization.
Of course it should be legal
I'm pretty sure a huge amount of people are going to say yes....
Agree, without Illegal filesharing, life would be dull.Quote:

File-sharing my dear writer is legalized... If u mean File-sharing of Copyrighted Material then it shouldnt be legalized, else the whole merchantise would go down!! Whole companies of Computer-Games, Movie-makers, etc,etc,etc. would all go down, cuz with they would have only one buyer, the others would DL the thing form there :lol:
Sharing for non-profit purpose only.
People should be able to share whatever they have as long as others do not make money out of it.
Well, does illigal/legal change anything? People would always do this no matter what the law is. Same with drugs, announcing that drugs are legal one they does not necesserily mean that everybody will bo doing drugs next day. People who usually do it will always keep on thing this no matter if its legal or illigal. People who do not download music are the ones who do not listen to music or dont know how to do it, but they are definitely not afraid of the law.Quote:

BTW, I don't like it when you charge $50 per page instead of $5 per page. If you charge $50, then I would distribute copies too. That is why I share and borrow!! :D :w00t:
Voted NO. Why should we miss the fun in filesharing by making the whole thing legal?
I voted yes, and come to think of it I could have might as well voted no, since I think it's fine to pay for the music, but I wouldn't want to download the crap-quality rip they offer with or without DRM. Take a look at this link, this "rant" is really well written!

i voted yes
i pay for good music
but i wanna dl to know which is good
I think it should be legalized. I believe it would force the music industrie to change. It's going to be a long and hard battle but I think it will change. Cd's are quickley becoming a thing of the past.
