That about right?
Yes but only if they are theiving from you
Im not so sure anyone is legitimising it as much as pointing out that the record companies through their shortsighted greed are in large part creators of their own problem.
As I have stated before. I remember when movies were expencive $40 +
now they are so cheap I dont bother renting or recording off TV.
I just buy them outright.
I dont have to worry about late fees, the little HBO,showtime Cinemax etc logo that pops up on the screen. And most of all unless I get a bad DVD I dont have to worry about the the quality of the recording.
Charge less and they can make buying the stuff more worthwhile, then downloading it.
Classic case where by charging less you can make more.
but if you want to put it in the terms Im sure you are thinking of.
Well lets face it. These companies arent exactly nice people either.
Most of them wouldnt think twice about ripping off some unknowns material and giving it to one of their name bands to use either.
They'd cut your or my throat in a New York minute if they thought they could get away with it and turn a profit off of it.
think not? Just look at HTC and all the fun they've had with a party that shall go nameless. in the last few years.
So while I might not condone this "theivery. Or "stealing" music
My heart doesnt exactly pump purple pi$$ for these companies either.
They aint exactly Mother Theresas themselves
Sometimes what goes around comes around.
But relax. Im sure this thread wont be around long.
these threads rarely are.
Im actually kinda surprised its been here this long
