i am by no means rich.. and i totally agree with nate on this one..
i personally steal (*gasp*) 98.8% of all the stuff i use to make music..
this is fine in my opinion.. since i never make a freakin dime from it..
and the stuff i do really use (hardware mostly) i buy..
but.. when a friend of mine says.. "hey.. i want to write music too"
i show them how to use the tools.. and tell them to buy it if they really
like it..
most of my friends i give tools too can't write for shit.. and never will.
yes.. they may get a track or 2 put out on little crappy comp.. yes they
may end up being played on your desktop speakers from mp3.com.. making
it even harder to ever find something enjoyable on that mostrous site..
but at least people are being creative.. at least people are *trying* to put
emotions
into sound.. it's better than having random people hitting their dogs.. or
drinking
themselves into oblivion.. i for one find writing music very theraputic..
and helpful
in a very personal way.. if other people like my stuff.. cool.. if not..
i'll never stop
writing..
and the easier the tools are to get.. the more likely i am to write..
