not quite everything, good story here, wife and i are in a shop in salt lake city, chad kroeger(nickelback) comes into the store, wife recognizes him and goes for his autograph, cool, on the back of a business card, but cool. she accidentally spills "we love your music, we have all of your songs downloaded", god, I almost died right there. he laughed and said thanks for not buying it, she apologized and explained that that was how we first heard it and then have since bought all of nickelbacks albums(also true), but I think the damage was already done. oops. see, good story, not all the artists want to avenge themselves upon downloaders, he still gave her an autograph and she still keeps buying all of his albums.
Another way to beat them, move to south korea, or malaysia, over here there are bootleggers downtown in open storefronts with no reason to hide, selling movies and music and more, with no regard for US or international copyright laws, it is great. I saw underworld 2 days after it was released to theatres, and actually saw that new stupid matix movie 2 days before it was released in the US. The movies sell for about 3 or 4 dollars each and are standard dvd, and the music discs are separated by either artist, genre, or type and are about 3 dollars a hundred songs. That is the plain and simple truth, if the industry would charge what the movie or music is actually worth, we would buy them. Over here they understand that, and the only downside is the horrible smell of kimchee in the mornin'.
mil stat'd in the R.O.K.
