"I see it as a part of the marketing, because the people that purchase the material from a pirating perspective, they end up at the concert, because they can't help but fall in love with the material at that point..."
Fast forward to 2:00 min to see it.

Listening to Psycho .. bye
I see that statement as marketing, since everyone knows the majority of teens (his target market) download their music.
download music or die tryin

I would have thought his loss to Kanye West on Record Sales would have changed his perspective on Piracy.
He is paid. Either it's a bluff or he is for real about it. He is making movies,vitamin water(or whatever else he owns) The album has a movie that is called Before I Self Destruct. The guy is probably enjoying life. When the money runs out, he may start to care. Doubt that will happen, who knows.
He is right on that above statement. If he puts out good music or something that will attract people to his concerts then they will buy the CD. The Album itself is OK. Have not really listened to it in it's entirety. The way the music industry is, he or someone he promotes will be one of the top selling artists for the foreseeable future, it seems.Quote:

Or even come slightly close to him financially for that matter
I think he has one of the highest selling record sales for Get Rich or Die Tryin', and I bet he would love to keep that record under his belt for years to come.
BTW, I saw the Before I Self Distruct movie, and even though it's safe to call it Garbage on many counts, I enjoyed it a lot. I loved how gangsta that shit was lol
True. He probably would be along with other artists check to see whose is album is downloaded the most, out of arrogance.
Imagine if 50 cent's sales go up now. Other artists will think that it is good to let people download it then decide if they want to buy it.
The artists who care are either under pressure by their producers/owners or they they are close minded to how things are. I can't count how many times I bought a album and maybe 1 song was worth listening to. Would much rather sample the album then decide if it's worth buying.

That's probably one of the biggest reasons I don't buy albums and download them instead.Quote:

Not good with loseless/high quality music and it sounds better straight from a CD. I don't use my IPOD, need to. plus I like having the original CD. Not the ones that are crap though.I throw those out the window.
Gotta go with this one... Some many times i bought a CD and regretted immediately.Quote:

I only buy every U2 albums. The others, i prefer to download and if good, buy it.
i love how thay say thay have lost billions of bucks useing how much we download as a gide of how much money thay have lost when I would not buy 98% of what i download if i can get it for free then fine if not then i wont so just cos i download sumthing dus not mean if that ftp did not have it i would have gorn out and bort it is bull shit
I thought this quote was a year or more old. I still don't care.
You don't have to be 'good' with lossless, just download an album in flac, burn it to a blank disc, and you have an exact copy of the retail CD.Quote:
