The Cellar - View Single Post - Internet downloading poll for my CJ class

Brigliadore · 03-10-2004, 07:22 PM

I used to download songs all the time. I downloaded from Audio Galaxy, BUT I only downloaded to make sure I liked other songs by the artist. If I liked most of a particular artists music I then would go out and buy the Cd. If I ended up not liking the artists other songs I kept the one I liked and didn't buy the Cd (its the artists fault for making a shitty Cd

). Now with all the suing and shit going on I don't download any more but only for fear of being sued. Alan and I aren't buying Cd's till the record companies stop this suing people bullshit. So now I go down to my local county library (12 different libraries all on the same system so its like one mega sized library) and check the Cd's out, rip the songs I want, and then return the Cd's. My library(s) has 90% of the Cd's I want and for the occasional one we cant find we buy second hand from someone off Ebay for a couple bucks.

I didn't vote in your poll because I am not sure how my answer works with the poll. I don't download songs but not because its illegal, only because I don't want to get sued.
