Stop buying CDs...hit them where it hurts. They are fighting a loosing battle. If the prices would be reasonable, then I would buy, but now...they are GREEDY. |

Where did he say he wanted free music? Just because he says "don't buy CDs" doesn't necessarily mean he's downloading music. |

Good point, I don't download much of anything and I've bought *very* few CDs these last few years. The RIAA didn't help convince me otherwise either. First they try to freeze out used CD dealers, then they settle a huge a huge anti-trust suit, then they start suing individuals right and left for exhorbitant sums of money. I'll vote with my $$ because it's all they understand.

Geesh...the criminal mind...
So if I think new car prices are unreasonable then I have the right to "aquire" one through other means???
Maybe we need to read our own posts first? |

right it's called buying USED...something the RIAA tried to stop in the mid 90's with trying to make it illegal for used CD stores to operate. Ya that was killed, obviously. Also...yer analogy of a new car is bad....u can test drive it and in some cases keep it for a day or 2. Try that with a CD LOL U can't even perview em anymore |

You're so far of. Rather then telling people to read perhaps you should just bow out and say nothing. You only make yourself look foolish. No where in this thread did someone promote free music. It's a simple fact that people dislike the tactics the RIAA tried pulling regardless of wether you upload or download. Maybe it's you that should read. |

I don't and never have downloaded music, I just hate the illegal tactics of RIAA, and they should be stopped by what ever legal means possible...I was a process server and researcher in the federal courts for 15 years, and it maddens me to watch RIAA abuse the system as they do... |

Who says you are getting free music. We support bands through concerts. Until CD prices get reasonable, download for free. Once a happy medium is made then more will buy them. |

And not buying CD's helps the Artists that are getting ripped off by the RIAA how?
Not buying CD's means even LESS money for the Artists. |

Yes you can. It is done all the time every day all across America. It's call carjacking, or better yet, break into a car at the dealer. I've seen glass on the ground to tell me someone attempted to steal a car off a dealer lot.
As for me, hell yeah I'm going to keep downloading. |

I download because I can't find that music in any online store or CD is way too expensive. P2P can be very profitable. Just charge $10/mo for using sharing program (ie Napster) instead of killing it.
Then they'll get pure $$$, no need for fast servers, Greatest uploaders will get priority for downloading. I don't mind paying that low monthly fee and many people will follow.
