I figure, it doesn't matter if I download CDs, cause I usually end up going to shows of bands I like and spending a lot of money there. I don't think most bands give a shit if you download their CD, they just wanna make money somehow.candy-coated_fake wrote:I despise people who download full CD's. It's okay to burn a few songs, but a full CD? That's evil, I tell you. Evil.
for all of you looking to download the new live cd...
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.
Unless you are like Galaxia and live in the retarded town of Bastrop, TX where the only place to buy cd's is Walmart, where you have to wait 2-3 days till the great and hardworking staff at walmart get off their butts and unload the boxes sitting under the checkout register in the music section and put the new OLP cd on the shelves. The only thing they did manage to do was put the poster advertizing the cd up, just to tease me.Axtech wrote:Why download it? It's available to buy today.

To be honest, I'm not going to buy the new cd, i'll just download it.
However I will buy the DVD.
The way I see it I already have other live recordings, and since this isn't even a straight concert but individual tracks from seperate shows. It really doesn't mean that much to me.
I buy everything else tho

actualy what they should have done is gave a discount to anyone that has attened a concert in the last year, that would be cool

You suck, how did you do that?
That would be awesome if they gave a discount to anyone who attended a show ni the past year, but how in the hell would you prove that?
I paid way too much for mine at Wal-Mart too...$18!!! Oh well, I'm content.
I only buy cds that I absolutely will die w/o...ie Live. When I get a job though...I'm gonna be a cd buying machine.

I have to be the unpopular one here. And I have to eat alot of shit because I used to slug it out with lots of CC old-schoolers about the ethical landscape of this debate. However I have to say, after working in broadcasting and meeting alot of people in the music industry that it changed my politics. Specifically, when I met the people whose food I was stealing from their mouths.OrangeSteamboat wrote:I figure, it doesn't matter if I download CDs, cause I usually end up going to shows of bands I like and spending a lot of money there.

I enjoy the concept of copyright. Much of the outlandish artistic indulgence in the music scene is because of the creative industry's predication on copyright. Folks don't realise that without the Britney's and disposable pop, that we don't get the Flaming Lips on the grand scale that we do. This is because copyright ensures that the industry will be compensated. People can spend their lives promoting, creating and ensuring the livelihood of art.
Also, the infrastructure (specifically the marketing) that ultimately allows us to enjoy music the way we do depends on our financial support. Every time I download a CD and burn it as a replacement for the store-bought copy, I am cheating the industry (and that includes artists, support staff, management, video producers, album art creators, and other related creative individuals), thus reducing capital funds to create more music and more art.
Its said that a starving artist creates more vital art, however I'd like to think when I do something worthy of other people's attention that those people will want to compensate my efforts. Downloading and burning is stealing.
Now until recently there haven't been very many progressive ideas to change this old, antiquated model. But with iTunes coming out for PC in the fall, I will download again - and I'll pay for it. Until then, when I want some free music I'll turn on the radio. Broadcast work will do that to you

I have a built-in conscience: problematic hard drives. I tried to download Napster and I didn't have enough room. And now I have limewire and my computer doesn't like that either.
But I've gotten into enough bands that I know I'll like entire albums, and if I only like a single song, I don't buy the CD.
I think I have to buy the live album while it's still 11.88 at Newbury Comics. I think it gets more expensive Tuesday.
