Message 11/15 15-Sep-05 @ 09:53 AM - RE: Piracy calculator
For example, I'm into IDM-ish stuff; Warp's Bleep.com carries a lot of the material I could ever want & with pretty decent quality audio previews. In theory, there should be no reason for anyone to pirate any of this stuff - however, I know huge chunks are available on the newsgroups.
Can there be any other reason than people just don't want to pay for it??

(BTW I think a lot of the old stuff has been re-released - Twoism & Hi Scores anyway - plus there's the 'A Few Old Tunes' compilation).

ive had to essentially lie every time ive takena cd back saying it was a present that was wrong- still doesn't garuntee my money as they usually make me spend it on something else in store- as soon as the industry realise that their method of selling is all wrong (like they don't already!) and change it people will continue to download mp3s......serious music fans (the ones who often account for actual album sales) will generally buy the album after if they like it enough- thats what bands should be striving for- making a cd so good people will £13 to own it even after owning the mp3s- but they are under no such onus- otherwise there would no such thing as 'filler'- cant see them changing soon so im gonna keep trying before i buy- as a chaff filtering process its sooo much cheaper
