The MP3 Issue
-
It has been awhile ever since I heard news about people getting caught for downloading mp3s...
Alot of mp3 serving channels in IRC has since closed down, some p2p programs/network ceased operations too. Now the IN thing's Bittorrent and maybe, websites.
Even though the authorities came up with the idea of "selling" mp3s online, how many people actually buy them? Further more...mp3 players are getting more and more popular these days...isn't it contradicting? On one hand, u're trying to curb piracy, on the other hand, u're selling such a thing. & i certainly believe people would rather choose to download illegaly than to buy mp3s.
hahz..whatever that is.. do you guys know which alternative is safer (other than buying CDs,buying mp3s,listening to radio and of course not listening to music at all)...? -

Maybe people will buy more MP3s if they are cheaper than buying CDs, and not more expensive. The only MP3s I will download are the free ones. Just look at the prices they are charging per song, somemore you don't get any packaging, linear notes etc. At least with a cd you can record from it multiple times, in any format you want, and use it as a frisbee or coaster if you don't want it anymore.
