I was wondering? Have any of you actually gone out and actually bought a CD since Napster and mp3's? I understand some pepl contemplate buying CD's, but I haven't really seen a reply saying they actually bought one. I think the record companies have a point when they say that mp3's bring down their sales, granted I'm all for not paying for CD's. Hell, I can make them myself. For the 5% of the population that can hear a big difference between mp3's and the real thing, they might want to buy CD's but I sure as hell can't really hear it, so why would I go out and buy a $16 CD. I'd rather buy a DVD @ that price. Anyways, there's no way for RIAA to stop mp3 piracy but they sure as hell can try. This'll just make it a little harder for me to get the MP3's I want.
Alright all of the people out there saying that he/she should "do your own f-ing research" have problems. Think about it this way, if u knew someone that already knew something about the subject would u not ask? I don't see how that is any different from this case. He/she is just using the full extent of their resources. I don't think they're are relying fully on this post either. Besides, at least they're being truthful and say it's for a report they could've just said they were wondering about what nanotech would be like later or something to that extent. Where is your common sense, I mean, I'm guessing most of the people on this are IT people. Don't bitch at the person just because they are trying to use people that have already learned about that stuff before for a resouce.
