Can someone with Limewire or something please email me this song...

ehh, I download music. And I still don't never did find myself wondering why the prices were so high before..
I would love to have the money to buy on iTunes, but it really adds up. The giftcards are always great to get! The only thing I would obviously buy were the apps for my iPhone and videos.
I've never gotten a virus because of limewire or anything, but of course it happens.

Well no.. actually they have been getting over all cheaper. If you look at the cost of music over the last few decades its actually getting a 'reality' check. And its not that I am adverse to paying the artist. Look at what Radio Head did! Considering how many people are being 'discovered' from youtube etc, and the fact that artists would make more money if fans could pay what they wanted for it...

the problem is the whole industry.

Haha... just read this and thought of this thread...

This is what Shakira thinks about people who download...

I use iTunes and MP3 Rocket (virtually the same thing as Limewire). I used to use Limewire until it over ran my computer with viruses. I buy CDs too; usually only Eminem CDs though, because I always love all his songs. If it was that big of a deal, it wouldn't take much for the police to shut Limewire and MP3 Rocket down if they wanted to, so obviously it's not too big of an issue.

I've been at this for 2 years (no antivirus and downloading left right and center) and so far so good. We have Norton around here somewhere but I'm not eager to install another program that will send me update notices and pop-ups and all that BS. lol

Well they sued the crap out of Pirate Bay and sent the owners/creators to jail but the site is still up and running. By "they" I mean... a lot of people Sony, etc... but it was over movies, games, etc. Not music IIRC. And the defendants are Swedish. But my point is there are a lot of people PO'd about it and the site still isn't taken down.

iz so sad Oink is gone.. Oink was the best...

Oink? Must've been before my time.

Has anyone ever heard the whole Boats and Hoes song from Stepbrothers!? :rofl1: Listen to it.

In Puck's defense, he's right. It is technically stealing. Just because everybody does it, doesn't make it legal. It's like doing 75 in the 65 MPH zone. Sure everyone does it, but don't complain when you get a ticket. The cops may not catch everyone, but they generally catch someone.

See, we don't see this issue here, I guess that's why I don't care about doing it lol Completely legal here, as long as we are not downloading and burning for other people

Oh really?? You can get in trouble for it in the States?

That's what some friends in the states have told me, now it may have changed.

As far as I know you can get in trouble and be fined.

Plus that site is loaded with problems. My friend's daughter accessed it and the viruses shut her mom's computer down.

Where are you getting songs for 50 cents a song? ITunes just went up for me not too long ago to $1.29 a song.

I have over 4,000 songs on my ITunes. I can't afford to spend that on music. I do buy a lot on ITunes, and I put a lot of my cd's on there too.

And Dekka is right, when I was younger, I'd have to save up $18.99 for a CD. Now they're like $11.99 at the MOST.

I do a mix of everything... most of the time I buy from itunes because well...I'm not that really into music, and I like their premade playlists.

Sometimes, I'll borrow other people's CDs and simply load them onto my computer.

Sometimes if I really only want 1 song, I'll download them from the internet. I find that I rarely take this route, but it's mostly bc you never really know what quality the song is going be. It's actually easier for me to find a song on itunes and pay for it knowing that it's exaclty the song I want, by the artist I want, and with CD quality.
