If people are in music for the money, who needs them? Music is an art, and people will always make it as long as humans have the urge to create -- the only thing we'd lose from getting rid of the million-dollar rock star salary is the preprocessed, meaningless music that is mass-produced today.

Aaaaand, if you seriously think you're in the minority in buying CDs whereas "most people just burn them", that's ridiculous. Don't get self-righteous unless you have the facts.

well at leats out of the all the people i know i am, and there is obviously a large portion because record stores could tell you that much, like i said, i'm not for or against i just hate seeing people freeload and give nothing back, i have a friend that burned all 5 olp albums and olp haven't seen a cent, also, and what i meant is people will still make music but most of it will be kept to themselves and small groups of people if there is no longer a sustainable career that comes from being an artist

and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

To battle people that are downloading her music illegally, her peepz at Maverick posted mp3s on the filesharing sites and when you downloaded them, it was actually a message from Madonna; saying something to the effect of "what the hell do you think you're doing?" :lol:


A couple days later, a hacker worked his way into Madonna's website, and posted a message saying "this is what the fuck I'm doing" along with all the actual mp3's to her new cd.

Audiograbber 1.8.2, rips protected CDs. Those CDs have crappy protection on them, just like the current DVDs.

many protected Cd's all you have to do is take a black perminent marker and go around the space not written on on the cd and then that blocks the protection causing the cd to be ripped
