forum's stance on sharing music?

(1/7) > >>

LIVE!Forever:
hi all,

i was wondering, since there is a thread about leaked albums, what is this forum's stance on sharing leaked albums, or sharing albums in general? i see a lot of people always trying to find it using conventional means, when the possibility of someone already having it is pretty high. a lot of forums/people upload albums to send to other people, just wonderin what the general feeling about this is here.

yelley:
cds are over 3000 yen here. that's about 30 us dollars. no way am i buying cds while i'm here, but i'm not going to live without new music either.

if it's a band that i really like, then i'll buy the cd.

normz:
i think of downloading as sort of a try before you buy type thing..... if i really love the artist then i will definately buy their cd but i don't buy every single albumn i listen to (considering i download almost an albumn a day of late) also for those who argue that dowloading is 'taking money away from artists' i think that's stupid because the artists themselves dont make that much money from the sale of an albumn but if it's merch and show tickets that i buy because i really liked the band my mate told me to download well then yeah their getting more of my money.... (having said that i do still buy heaps of music .... i think im just a sucker for cool albumn art and packaging)

Not An Addict:
Yeah, downloading lets me sample something before I buy it. I need CD-quality audio, so these 128k album leaks do me no good whatsoever.

öde:
I don't have the money to buy cds, so I sometimes download things (1.5k songs and counting). Naughty me :(
