I work for a Corprate Record store here in Los Angeles. I am exposed to all the shit the music industry loves to deal out. Trust me after you have heard the new pink, britney spears, linkin park, or any of the other corprate crap that is out there day after day, it gets pretty old. The average price for a cd is $18.99. I don't know about the rest of you but $20 bucks is alot of money to spend on an album, that could potentialy suck balls. So when it comes to p2p trading, i am o.k. with it. On the other hand i don't just go and burn every new album that i like. I first search for the music, then download it, and if it something i like, then i will go throw down the cash. I have no problem spending my hard earned money on something that is worth it. On another note when i have customers come in and they are looking for a song that i don't know, or are questioning spending $20 bucks on a cd. I tell them to search the net and find out if they like it first. Believe it or not i actually have customers come back in on a weekly basis and buy albums that they have sampled on the net. But for those of you who just sit down and jack all the music you can off the net, you are just plain lame. Especially if it is a band you like. You are just as bad as the corprate fucks who are producing the music.
