1. Comment - British Record Industry Sues AllofMP3

   (Jul 12, 2006 - 1:40 PM)

   Points taken, and perhaps i shouldn't have said it was pointless - after all i'm back!
   
   I'd love to see people change their habits - I have. However think it's expecting too much to think that if everyone was explained the facts that they will stop stealing. I know you have seen people change their habits which is great, but i've also had this argument with lots of friends who still continue to illeagally download despite them knowing the whole story.
   I still think that today, right now, not much will change but hopefully a system can be introduced in the future to prevent theft.
   This was just on the news today, which is quite interesting >>>

   I think it's kind of pointless to have a debate about the rights and wrongs about companies like this and other forms of file sharing. The bottom line is - it's here to stay and it's just stressful trying to fight a losing battle.
   I don't think it's possible for people to feel lke thieves (that's what they are)in their own home. Have i ever shoplifted? of course not, i'd never even dream of it. Have i shared a file? well, yes i have. The two thing have a similar effect on the industry but to get the public to acknowlage what they are doing is an anti-social crime is impossible.
   I have an album coming out in september, i'd love to quit my job and live from music alone, but it's not going to happen, i'm sure at least a month before the official release it'll be on soulseek. That's something that i accept but am not happy about. It won't stop me from making music, i don't make music for money.
   Perhaps eventually all artists will make music for the love of it and not for the financial rewards.
