No restrictions, just a plain old MP3. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her stuff, I just may pony up a whole buck to economically encourage this sort of behavior."

  1. THE MUSIC INDUSTRY ARE OUT TO GET YOUR MONEY by shadowatch · · Score: 0, Troll

    the music industry just wants to make more money, like they don't have enough now, i'm not about to buy a song i don't like from some unknown artist for even a dollar. now if they offered a whole cd or even a half of one of an actual band that i liked than i may even buy it for $5 or around that but no way am i going to pay for 1 song, when i can get it for free. i say milk the system hell, i remember when mp3's could be easily downloaded off a site and were of good quality.
