: bullshit. : : Replace tbe word 'music' with any 'item for sale' in your post and you : realized how completely FUCKED this argument is. : : theft is theft. goddamn these threads are so pointless. people can only govern their own actions. if someone wants to copy MP3's fine, there should be some legal system to deal with it, and isn't there? its just not inforced. and if someone treasures their vinyl or neatly tDR designed CD, and can't stand the thought of having ugly looking CDR's laying around, fine. whats right and wrong to you is completely different to somebody else. and trying to change that other persons point of view is fucking pointless. theft is theft. something is missing. copying is copying. source is still there. unlike theft of material items. and you can make charts and graphs of all the money lost that you want. hell thats their excuse for high prices on music, a percentage for pirating figured into the price. information is information. once anything gets put in digital form you can argue and yell till your head explodes / but their just hasn't been an effective way of dealing with it. but at the end of the day its hard for me to beleive that aphex twin is really out 10 grand. but then again aphex is a poor example / because he hasn't put shit out in the last three years, and says he has enough money he doesn't have to. whatever gets him through his day, and me mine. belch. klint. and what release was aphex twins remix of autumn acid on? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
