If you don't get greedy? But if you remain a paragon among cheap
assholes you can pretty much get away with anything. Of course
cheapness or greed really isn't the issue as much as purposeless
stupidity, namely the effort and expense that you have gone through
just to get what many of us already have obtained through file share.
We are cheaper, not because we're that careful with our money, but
can't imagine going to the above trouble needlessly. An exacto knife
and glue? Cutting carefully around the edges? Careful and judicious
timing of your returns? "The Great Escape" didn't require that much
planning. Among tales of music piracy, the above pedantry amounts to
"The Da Vinci Code" of music bootlegging. We dishonest freeloading
bastards share our stuff, rather than stick somebody else for paying
for our left-overs. BTW, has anybody on this NG ever worked in a store
where this sort of thing was discovered after the return was made? I
wonder what happens to the cashier who signs off on that return.
Hmmmmm
Also that bit about 5000 songs in a few months - maybe I'm not quite
the music connosueir that you are, but DL problems aren't the cause of
my small collection. If there were 5000 songs worth listening to, I'd
probably DL them. The only stuff I couldn't get is likely so obscure
that few music stores would be likely to have it either. Anyway, just
how far and wide would you have to go to "buy" 5000 songs worth of
albums to return without arousing suspicion? Seems to me that at some
point, somebody's going to remember you, and those butterflies in your
stomach (?!) will have an excuse to let loose.
The funniest bit is that you're going through this wear and tear
because you can't get into open nap. If you spent a fraction of the
above effort just learning how open nap works (and I suspect you could
do with some help on WPN as well) you probably wouldn't need to resort
to reliving "Catch me if you can" every time you wanted to get some
great music.
