  1. Re:Anecdotal evidence on Legal Issues Don't Bother American Downloaders · · Score: 1

    I downloaded parts of Chasing Daylight. It is a good album and buying the cd will give you "all access" to a few acoustic versions of other songs and an unreleased track.

    I recommend it.

  2. Anecdotal evidence on Legal Issues Don't Bother American Downloaders · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have been downloading songs from Sister Hazel for a few months. I was told they were pretty good, so I downloaded and agreed. Yesterday I bought their new album, virtually (heard 2 songs)sound unheard (or whatever the audio equivalent of sight unseen is).

    The only reason why I bought their album is because of Kazaa.

    This year have purchased about 3 cds. My pre file-trading average was about 5-6 a year. I know I will get at least one more when Big Bad Voodoo Daddy releases their next one in April.

    So my quantitative purchasing habits have not really changed, but my satisfaction with purchases have increased tremendously. My choices of what I buy also have changed a little.

    In summary, what the hell is the RIAA worried about? I feel most people are like me, they pay for what they like, and try to do the honest thing.

  10. Re:Sounds like fun on Junkyard Wars Wants You! · · Score: 1

    I have a job, I do understand.

    No it didn't bother me (tacos are awesome, though I am not mexican).

    I was mostly joking, but how many effiminate(which I do realize is different than being gay but they are often related) men have you seen on junkyard wars, or working in professions like engineering etc.

    Generalizations are a bad thing? Is that not a generalization?

  11. Re:Sounds like fun on Junkyard Wars Wants You! · · Score: 1

    Diversity on this show is crucial because, as a Hispanic engineering student, I can only be entertained by people that throw out spanish words and that are eating taquitos on the set.

    Why does diversity ALWAYS mean race (btw, I think Asians are getting pretty close to losing any preferential treatment, the other minorities have a little resentment towards them because they have been so successful), ethnicity, sexual orientation, handicap status etc?

    Diversity for Junk Yard Wars should be something like we need more people with Electrical backgrounds, machinists or something like that.

    Also, how are they going to check to see if you are gay? Seriously, how many gay men know a lot about building stuff? Are the various interior decorating shows actively seeking more straight men? No, of course not.

    I agree 100% even about baseball. Shame too! I really love the game just not the whiny primadonnas that play it.

    Radio can still return as strong as ever it will just take some time. I hope the same is true with baseball.

    You need something to do between football seasons!
