weeeeell.. most of the mp3's i have are songs i already own, i just don't
want to take my cd's to work. I have some rare stuff live/old that i don't
think is for sale (legally, anyway). I have some that made me buy the CD's,
and i have a few that didn't. Most of the time, if i really like a song, i
want to own it. If i don't like an Mp3, i delete it

totally. Having been in a sh|tty small time band, i know i wouldn't want
people stealing music that i had worked hard to create. Essentially, it
does boil down to theft, i'm not sure how you can argue it any other way
really. i hate mettalica anyway, though! !P

mmm... not sure about that..maybe it depends on your music taste, and the
online CD store.. I havent seen 'ventolin (cylob mix)' for sale yet
(although I'm sure it is available somewhere), but i WILL buy it when i do.
there is a lot of live stuff available that i doubt you can buy. It may
well be a high percentage, but surely not 99? I'd be willing to bet that
you would lose your money!

>Not true at all.
TOTALLY agree... sorry las, but i don't think you can legitimately back up
that arguement!..... i'm not saying that i don't have mp3's of stuff that
is hard to find.. but i wouldn't deny that technically i don't have any
write to own the music.. I'd just rather be paying the artist instead of
the label. that doesn't justify the artist getting *nothing* though.
hehe.. my arguments are all two-faced, aren't they!
