Seriously. "...and therefore I can just steal music because some people... - Phred, 06-20-2012 22:47 (Views: 33)

All of that.[nt] - Paul, 06-20-2012 22:46 (Views: 17)

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but music really isn't worth much to me. - pudds, 06-20-2012 13:53 (Views: 40)

You got that right... - Paul, 06-20-2012 14:01 (Views: 36)

Har har. None of it is. For me, music is typically background noise. [nt] - pudds, 06-20-2012 14:03 (Views: 32)

This explains so much. :) [nt] - Phred, 06-20-2012 14:05 (Views: 25)

This is something that I`ve felt bad about. - Bean, 06-19-2012 21:28 (Views: 49)

Ten albums ordered today. - Bean, 06-21-2012 08:09 (Views: 25)

A trade proposal - Ordeith, 06-19-2012 19:38 (Views: 38)

You might pause to think about who 'you' is in each instance. - Phred, 06-19-2012 20:02 (Views: 32)

No sympathy there either - Ordeith, 06-19-2012 20:59 (Views: 41)

So you support the Russian mafia instead. Solid choice. [nt] - Phred, 06-19-2012 22:00 (Views: 24)

Might actually have more "freedom", but no. [nt] - Ordeith, 06-19-2012 22:00 (Views: 26)

You might stop to consider why the artists have the "freedom" to get paid nothing... - Phred, 06-19-2012 22:06 (Views: 31)

go in with eyes open, they could be in control but they choose not to be, NMP. [nt] - Ordeith, 06-19-2012 22:13 (Views: 27)

the point is that the gatekeepers get paid for those downloads and streams... - P. Briscoe, 06-19-2012 19:54 (Views: 31)

I think the real point has been missed. - Paul, 06-19-2012 20:45 (Views: 34)

I didn't see where legal digital distribution was indicted, at least not in this article. - Phred, 06-19-2012 22:02 (Views: 32)

Yup, read that part, didn't know if it was guilt by association or what.[nt] - Paul, 06-19-2012 22:33 (Views: 28)

yeah, but who actually plays by the rules? - P. Briscoe, 06-19-2012 21:28 (Views: 34)

Some do, I don't. Reminds me I need to buy a few albums I've been enjoying though. - Paul, 06-19-2012 22:35 (Views: 34)

^^ That's a response to "one person pays then shares" btw, not "who plays by the rules?" [nt] - Paul, 06-20-2012 12:12 (Views: 25)

Fantastic. [nt] - Phred, 06-19-2012 19:27 (Views: 24)

Whoa whoa whoa. "Free Culture" and "Digital Distribution" model are not the same thing. - Paul, 06-19-2012 19:13 (Views: 32)
