hello blathered:

Which Hello was all too incapable of inquiring about. Oh, hell, I'll
admit it. I don't pay money to foreign (.ru) based companies that sell
me music. I have this nagging feeling that they'll just up and fold up
before I've DL'd enough to make it economical. That isn't any
suggestion of illegality - simply that a doubt that the company itself
is stable enough to remain around long enough for the investment to pay
off. On the subject of legality, just how do we know that the company
has legally obtained the songs it sell? Just because they're selling
the music doesn't mean that they legally own it. Of course this was to
a small extent true back in the days when music was something you had
to buy in stores or mail order - but in those days, you had to buy the
music and the media (cassettes, disc, LP - what have you) and
counterfeiting was a more involved process. But that's only my
experience, which Hello found of such immense importance that he/she
completely forgot to ask about it it.

That's the problem with making conclusions - sometimes you gotta uyse
all da bad parts.

I'm glad I wasn't being accused of being grandiose
(http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=grandiose).
Propaganda indeed.

Talk about using only the bad parts - what do they call it when you
make a conclusion out of whole cloth, hello"/icur...@gmail.com - as in
- "I don't know why FatKat has any opinion on mp3search.ru, so he must
have some personal gain in doing so."

If they got their money's worth, then they didn't lose any money. If
they lost then they didn't get their money's worth.

Right now, I'm guessing that mp3search.ru would pay good money if you
stopped saying anything.

You mean that nonsense you provided above?

It would really work if you could say, you pay, you got what you paid
for, which is most of what you wanted. Of courese, there's no denying
that if you're happy getting less than what you paid for, you really
would be a dream client.
> Wow. I mean, really, WOW.
Let me guess, you find this ever so much better than iTunes.
> Apple, eat your heart out.
I'm sure Steve Jobs is now making a collect call to Russia as we speak.
I mean, WOW!!!!

The whole story being that you pay more, get less and are ecstatic to
be a dream customer. You're right, Hello, I did miss that part of the
story. Wow!!!

I never thought you of as an emotional sort, Hello - but when you led
the charge for empirical facts, I just assumed that you were the cold
calculating type. Surprise, surprise you'd finish off your thread with
digs at another mp3 service & Blockbuster, and no factual explanation
of what was wrong with either.
