OK, I will put this bluntly. If they sue people for downloading music, not only will it not work, it will make even more people download the music and less people buy cds. They should quit the bitching. Instead of charging $14 or more for a cd, make the prices reasonable. How about they actually do a decent job marketing it instead of just throwing a commercial on MTV and not saying anything bout the record?
Anyways, if not for Napster and Kazaa, I would listen to horrid music still. If not for Napster, I'd never have listened to Alkaline Trio, my gateway band to great music. I'd never have given Glassjaw a chance, or pretty much every band I listen to besides OLP. Fuck the opposers.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
