You are no snitch, you have an opinion, we disagree, and I let go on an ongoing debate. No need for that. No need at all.
I was bitching about the music industry when any way to get music was still through cd's. Also have to mention that I was on bbs's before the internet kicked in. Old school I know. The only thing I could afford as a youngster, not involved in criminal activity, was about 2 cd's a month. So if you bought two shitty releases in a month you had to listen to them because it was all there would be in your collection, and you where already tired to death by the vinyl/cd you already had. And I would sit up all night flipping channels looking for some new music on the tv. And the nights I heard something I liked I turned the volume up until one of my parents came in and told me to turn it down, so I had to learn how many volume bars I could allow myself when I heard something I liked. So I imagined all those who where grown up at the time and could really kick it with no volume boundaries. Then I saw mr.music cd's being played at parties because they where easy and since they sold more they where a bit cheaper. We did download but it was mostly small stuff. It's more like a commodore 64 magazine releasing codes for games, and after typing in 3 pages of code with all the fucked up symbols and letters it might execute. I'm not saying food was not on the table, but there was industries for all walks of life.
Then broadband came along. And we could use the computers to get things we wanted faster. It obviously grew.
And now I want you to tell me who I'm supposed to feel sorry for?
It reminds me of deadwood when the telegrapher came to the door with a company speech at first, almighty on top of his white horse, and when he was used to, he was told to fuck off.
There is no need for black and white arguments in a gray world.
