anytime i see something that says downloading music is bad, i classify
it as propaganda. primarily because all of the statistics show that
downloading has benefited the industry more than anything else
(http://www.azoz.com/music/features/0008.html, or google: riaa
download record sales). and it is good for people's creativity
(http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.10/tail.html).
secondly, what FatKat wrote had nothing to do with his/her own
experience. FakKat simply read all the bad parts, put it all together,
and drew a conclusion. that's called not using all the facts - or
propaganda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda). that's also
something someone would do if they wanted to rip something down for
personal gain.
third, an interesting theme you are missing here is that people are
okay with the money they lost. no, not all of them; but read the posts
above. people said, "yeah, i lost $20, but boy did i get my money's
worth". i'm sorry you can't *pay* for that kind of advertisement. can
you think of any service in the world you would say that about? you
pay, you get most of what you wanted, and then say, "hey, good enough.
i'd STILL come back to you". Wow. I mean, really, WOW. Apple, eat
your heart out.
but hey, what do i know? all i do is list off facts and draw
conclusions based on the whole story.
and, of course, mp3search.ru is back up, and my account is still there.
it seems to be getting hammered pretty good right now, but i have been
able to download.
one last point -- i tried using www.allofmp3.com. wow does their site
SUCK. the perfect analogy is Netflix vs. Blockbuster. blockbuster is
so bad, it actually made me cry. you can sign up for free and download
a few songs for free, but you'll only be hurting yourself.
