I was just talking to a friend about this. I have well over $10,000.00 invested in my cd and vinyl collection. I ALWAYS purchase the real thing when it's available. An example ~ my friend downloaded Takk for me a couple of weeks ago as it was not yet available in the States. I've already purchased 3 of the originals ~ two as gifts. When that is the only source people use for music I can join the argument against p2p but most of my friends spend a large percentage of their income on officially released cds. Add concert ticket prices to that and it goes much higher.

might be, but it is somewhat helpful when what you want is not available in any format. if you only use p2p to get full albums all the time, then it's horrible. 99% of the time i get my stuff on vinyl. i've pretty much given up on CDs.

yay! "big black CDs" are the best! edit

i use it to find the most obscure songs that music shithouses like FYE, circuit city and and best buy would never have..and if they did...you'd be paying $$$$$ for one song.

new stuff--no mad
old stuff--absoultely..especially extremely hard to find classic r&b, house and disco cool
you look better on your facebook page than you do in person hmph!

if they released singles like the use to, I think downloading would slow down as well.

too many sucky releases to purchase the entire cd.

i l-l-l-LOVE winmx!!! it is sooooo much better than morpheus, grokster and kazzaa combined! those bitches crashed my comp!!!

the only beef i have with winmx is i'll have some downloads goin (and its ALWAYS something i REALLY want) and all of a sudden, it'll disconnect on me and i'll have to start allover and half the time i cant get alot of the stuff started again, but other than that i'm fine
