Paying someone to burn a CD off the internet.....

Originally posted by Rogue Jedi
again, what if you like only two or three songs on the cd? are you supposed to pay full price for a 12 song cd, but only listen to a couple of songs? thats crazy.

Yeah i totally agree with that. I mean like I love this one song, and I wanted to the single, but they only had his CD. it was 25 dollars!

I have money, but I'm not spending 25 dollars for one song. That's ridiculous

When did it become crazy to pay for something you wish to own? I missed the meeting, do you still have the agenda? Run this idea by me.

Oh wait; "Because I only want 3! I'm paying for 12!". So use iTunes to buy songs you want.

There's no excuse for not paying.

iTunes. 99 Cents per song.

the bottom line here is that burning cd''s off the internet is not that big of a deal. these artists make their money even though this goes on every day.
thats why i had those 3 cd's burned, because there was 50 songs from like 20 different artists. was i supposed to buy 20 to 30 different cd's? even a millionare would think that is crazy.

I wanted to buy an album by a Japanese band, cheapest I could find it online that shipped to the UK was £24 ($45)... I don't agree paying that much for a CD. I don't mind downloading a CD like that and I'm not sure it's illegal either as it hasn't been licensed in the UK... Well I read that somewhere at least, not overly sure it's correct though.

It is a big deal, regardless of whether you believe it to be or not. The fact that you find stealing to be ok is ludicrous and ignorant. You don't think of the after-effects do you?

Your friend burns three full CDs for you, and for others. You may or may not copy that CD for others, who would maybe copy it for others. Not to mention all the same things happening for people your friend has copied it for.

If 10 kids each have a single album and share it amongst themselves, that's around 90 CDs that don't get purchased. This is happening by the millions, billions maybe.

I'll ask again: Shoplifting due to low income, right or wrong?

Really? Only 99cents?

I may have to look into that.

I hate paying every month for music when some months I don't even download anything

So you would rather pay money for a song, instead of downloading it from Limewire?

Yes, I'd rather pay than steal. Shocking, I know, but try to grasp it.

Yes, it is illegal.

Meh, I'll buy it if/when I go to Japan.

now, in my defense, most if not all of the music was old school rap that no one buys anymore. its not like it is a top 10 seller.

i noticed something here., you seem to be chasing me all over the place, quoting me, shooting down any idea i have and trashing my opinion. reason?

BTW: i am starting a poll now.

Ok, what happens if you don't have a credit card, or don't have acess to one?

You ask your parents. Pay them everytime you want to download the music

do us all a favor and drop the shoplifting scenario. no one here buys it.

Do me a favour and answer it. I'm not asking anyone to "buy" it, I'm asking you a question, you ignorant fool.

Do you agree that shoplifting is worth condoning if the shoplifter is of low income? Yes or no? In the time you've spent posting you could have answered.

So what? What is the logic there? You're stealing music, Rogue. You are stealing it, taking it without paying.

Because you said something I find to be incredibly illogical and/or stupid, and you won't answer me, so I have to repeatedly ask.

For what? Start a poll on a Britney forum entitled: "Is Britney an amazing vocalist?", and most will say yes.

Then don't buy it. What makes you think you have the right to own something without paying?

What is the meaning, of, Don't have acess to one?

If YOU and YOUR PARENTS have no access to a credit card or a debit card then you're sol.

Free dowloading is ILLEGAL.

Ok then, i just won't buy it, and I'll never listen to it ever, because it doesn't get played, or it isn't on youtube.

Precisely.
