I got a rapidshare account for one month so I could download the complete 12" and CD singles of Madonna from a german blog - paid $7 for the month.
Oh no!

far more progressive.
But rapidshare would have to check every file to check what people are downloading?Like people downloading tv shows and whatnot surely cant be prosecuted by irma for it?
P2P illegal downloading has bothered me, morally, for quite a while. I've done it but not in the past year or two. The closing of Road Records has sealed the deal for me: it's wrong and damages people who need support.
i justify it like so: i go to artists i like gigs whenever they're in town, which gives them way more money than the 10c (if their lucky) they get off me buying their cd. gigging is the future of music, which can't be a bad thing.

Most people I know will download something and then stick it on their shitpod and NOT go out and buy it.
That's all well and good for people who live in big cities but how can you support a band if they don't come to your town? Most people I know will download something and then stick it on their shitpod and NOT go out and buy it. And whatever about downloading off major labels, it's the smaller labels that really suffer from illegal downloading, the ones that need most support.
fair enough, cd's are overpriced though, i mean 17 squid for a piece of plastic, of which a tiny fraction goes to the artist seems a bit ridiculous to me.
you really think downloading was the main cause of road records going under though? plenty of other record shops doing fine, vinyl sales globally are up too apparently. more to do with the recession i'd say.

What's the deal with record companies and/or bands giving free mp3s to websites, like pitchfork, and then charging for the same mp3s on itunes etc?
Also, is listening to something on youtube or other media website just as much copyright infringment because the musicians aren't getting any money for their music being on it? When we hear something on the radio it's different, because the musicians get something for every song that's played. Should we not look at youtube now either?
