Magik, heres the Dark Side of Audiogalaxy [img]smile.gif[/img]
my brother has over 10 GIGS of mp3's!!! and he only owns about 20 cds that he actually bought he stopped buying them when he learned that he could download them and make his own cds for much cheaper, lol ive got about 200 cds, i guess...not worth the effort of counting [img]tongue.gif[/img] |

But I don't want to see ANY links to alternative download sites posted here - that will get this thread locked. If people want to find an alternative to Audiogalaxy I'd rather they used other means to do it. People who post here bragging about how much free music they've ripped off from these sites will probably be suspended. Only post here if you intend to debate this intelligently. If Z decides to lock the thread due to content anyway, well that's out of my hands. [img]smile.gif[/img] [ 06-18-2002, 10:33 PM: Message edited by: Memnoch ] |

I just hope your brother only has that much music because he's still too young or not substantial enough to buy real CD's, cause otherwise he's the kind of guy who is giving Napster and AudioGalaxy the bad reputation that they have now. [ 06-19-2002, 03:31 AM: Message edited by: Grojlach ]

I cant say that it bothers me any. I never could get the dang thing to even connect. Not even after a year of trying various versions of it. Versions that came on various computer magazine discs also failed me.
Like they say, if ya dont have it youll never miss it. Thats the case with me.

I personally have bought over 500 CDs (currently have about 350), 100's of cassettes (now about 30) and about 50 Vinyl (large round shellack disks read using a diamond needle ) I have also obtained music much in the same way as we are talking about. I'm also a musician and everyday face the debilitating prospects for artists in Australia due to the record companies, the government AND the public. What is of major concern is the 'new breed' of music listeners - the under 15s who have grown up with the internet and believe no one's Intellectual Property should be paid for. How's this? One of my own bother-in-laws has never bought a CD in his life, but has hundereds and hundereds of illegal mp3s. Not so bad? He also burns them to CD and sells them to his friends!!! All the while knowing how tough I'm doing it as a muso! I told him it's affecting me and he just shrugs. It's not that he doesn't care about me either, it's that he has no perception of the value of someone else's creation, whether it's music, film, software etc... If it's not 'solid' - if it can be turned into 0s and 1s, it should be free. This is because his culture entrenched him in these patterns before he's gotten to the point of earning money for himself and equating working for an hour with obtaining an album. Neutral perspective? Mate, I've been shafted hard core by a major record label. But I'm also being shafted hard core by a selfish, thieving online culture. Don't get me wrong here, I love the positives of mp3s, wavs etc...their convenience, sharing and discovery potential, their use in subverting coporate agenda etc. I even put some of my stuff up for people to listen to for free. It's here. I just think if people are going to take, they should give some back... [ 06-19-2002, 09:40 AM: Message edited by: Leonis ]
