RE: mp3 music
I've got a supply of almost 3,000 mp3 files of which approx half of them have come from my own collection of bought CD's.

The others are albums that are out of print or extremely hard to find, and as a result the prices for said albums is through the roof (sometimes up to 10 times the price of the original sticker price).

And most often the quality of the song on CD is heaps better then the downoaded song. And also, you are certain you have the complete original song....

but you are also certain that you are getting ripped off, paying so much for something that costs next to nothing to make

RE: mp3 music
by saying that you clearly show that you don't get what it is all about and don't have a clue about how much it "costs"/takes for the artists to do their stuff....

IMO, very sad if that is your opinion ...

I hope you will think a bit different when you are a bit older, have a job, etc.... I'm sorry, this may sound like "daddy is speaking", but it is the truth....

Both good views.

I download like, 1-4 songs from an album, if I like at least 2 of them, I purchase the CD usually.  If I dont, I just keep the songs I like.

I download songs myself.

If I truelly like all the songs that come from the artist I will buy the CD (Like Weezer)

But if I only like 1 or 2 songs from the artist I will just download them.

if it costs them so much money, why do they only get 12% of the money for the cd ? so that means 88% is going somewhere else. there will be a few other little things like the cost of cd and the price of recording it. but that doesn't add up to 88% of the cost of the cd. so until the price of cds comes down and people stop adding so much profit onto the product. i will not go out and buy music.

i have a job thank you, so yes i do have the money to buy the products, but in my mind this backs up my point of view more. why should i go out n work, to get some hard earned money, to then have someone make loads of profit when i spend my money to buy a cd.

if all the money when to the artist, minus the cost of the cd n recording the song. i would go out and buy the cd, coz then i kno the money is off to the artist, who as you have said works hard to produce the song.
