"Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing." Jerome K. Jerome Three men in a Boat

I've no problem buying from itunes, it's cheap, convenient and you know your money is supporting the artist.
Also, I really enjoy and look forward to buying a few tunes each week rather than simply downloading an artists entire discography. Having simple and free access to every single tune you want seems boring to me, it totally removes the treat.
I like most people devoured napster when I first discovered it about 12 years ago, but that was because of the novelty of not having to get a bus to town to buy a cd single. Itunes fulfils that now for me.
I'd really love if the industry found some way to stamp it out tbh.
I don't download movies or TV shows either, much prefer dvds, but I don't think it's as harmful, those industries are better poised to absorb it.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Download music for free - then go to gigs, its where they make their real money nowadays. I listen to a lot of hip hop or what would be considered undergraound stuff and as far as I can see albums/mixtapes are little more than a promotion tool now to get people to gigs. The upside being they have to come to Ireland to do shows now cos noone buys the albums
@ MSN - google top 20 albums for the year/genre etc and dl for free

From a moral pov, I've no problem with people downloading movies/TV shows, those industries have many other avenues for creating revenue, adverts, product placement etc etc.. I just prefer the picture quality of dvds on a 40" screen.
Music is vastly different though imo, album/single sales make up a vast proportion of an artists revenue, especially smaller artists that can't pack stadia.
It's morally wrong imo, and terribly damaging for new and up and coming artists.

I'd be far more concerned about movies/tv being able to continue to supply without the income from dvd sales. I still buy quite a lot, though I'll never be paying €100 for a single season boxset, like I used to not so long ago.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

Hey i really dont mind spending 20 quid, its peanuts, its just a handy site imo.
when pc starts up im signed in automatically and away i go, just really like the site, i have downloaded loads of stuff in the past, but never really find what i want all of the time, plus this site is so handy, albums pop up that would never have entered my head!Her sky-ness

For every one illegal downloader that goes to a gig, there are probably a million that don't.
That's a whole lot of money gone from the industry. It's getting easier and easier to download now too, it can only be crippling for start up bands, and that's going to have terrible implications for the future of music.
Rape and pillage imo.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Obv an extreme hypothetical but if movies and TV became extinct I'd probably mourn for a day or two, but if it happened to music I'd reach for the noose.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Had a weird experience tonight.
I was invited by my gf to a dinner party for a Chinese couple she knows who had a civil ceremony before their traditional Chinese ceremony next week. I was given the directions to the restaurant and seeing that it was nearby I rocked up after work at about 5:50pm even though it wasn’t to start until 6 I had nothing else on so fuck it.
First tell-tale bad sign was the sign outside the door saying “All you can eat buffet: €6.99”. I head in sporting the old 3-piece suit from work and am greeted by an assortment of students and homeless people noshing into the meal deals. Waiter spots me straight off and figures I am with the wedding party and offers to show me to the “function room”. We proceed to go up 3 flights of stairs passing what I am reasonably sure was somebody’s living room. When I get inside I throw the suit jacket over the nearest chair and am about to throw the feet up when I am charged by two fucking HUGE rats bearing down on me like the fucking Light Brigade. Me and the waiter both pussy out and make for the door quick smart. When we get outside he apologises and asks me to wait there. He comes back up with 6 other Chinese men in aprons wearing industrial sized black gloves. One of them is carrying a box. The others are carrying meat cleavers.
The 6 lads venture into the room and proceed to make noises that were a cross between a samurai film and a Benny Hill sketch. Meanwhile another punter rocks up with a bucket of water and a sponge and heads in after them. My waiter then starts telling me how he hates rats…unless they’re cooked right… and then proceeds to laugh at this as if nothing funnier has ever been uttered in human history. Meanwhile I am getting flashbacks to the “All you can eat” sign and having horror thoughts of how they keep it so cheap.
Next thing the lads rock out with a look of victory in their eyes and wordlessly proceed down the stairs. The waiter asks me to hang on outside until he sees if the other guests have arrived. I duly obliged. When the others finally did get there and we were shown inside I saw 2 distinct wet patches in the carpet near the wall and I almost vomited on the bride. Luckily I was distracted by 2 sudden realisations. First, I was one of only 2 people in the room who wasn’t arguing loudly in Chinese and secondly the Chinese for “Function Room” is clearly “Karaoke Bar”. I was then treated to 2 hours of renditions of Kiss from a Rose by Seal as well as, most pleasingly, “Rasputin” by Boney M that, and I am sorry but it’s true, sounds class in a Chinese accent. All of this while explaining to a woman who didn’t speak a word of English that I wasn’t eating because I’d had a big lunch and just couldn’t have another bite.
