| 174182 | 2003-09-10 06:42:00 | Is it legal to buy an album on cassette tape, and then put it into your stereo system; hook up your computer/laptop to that and burn the contents of the cassette tape onto a blank CD? | caffy (2665) | ||

Try 100 DVD-R's for aorund $95... 10 CD-R's for $6... So J-Lo, The music companies, and Soundz are getting approx. $24 between them per CD I (or rather dont) buy! That's tons considering most albums go platinum more than once if they're any good! |

| 174184 | 2003-09-10 11:17:00 | Consider the man hours, effort, and talent, developing Battlefield 1942 or Shadowbane versus Kylie Minogue's latest album. I know the games cost up to $100, but their market is way smaller and their costs must be way higher. robo. |

| 174185 | 2003-09-10 11:36:00 | Which is why I'd rather buy my games more than I would buy the latest Kylie CD if you must ;-) But why Kylie? Why not support Local music like Scribe or Nesian Mystik :D |

Why not support Local music like > Scribe or Nesian Mystik :D Kylie is fine as long as the hotpants are on. :x Nesian Mystik are great. I've only heard one of scribe's works. Apparently his other work is better, I severely hope it is. The one that hit number one in NZ (ooh YAY for The Warehouse) is a heap of crap IMO. "Yo ************ NZ hiphop got to stand the **** up" Really brilliant music that is. Then there is that other one "stop, drop and roll", is that meant to be for fire safety or something? |

| 174188 | 2003-09-10 12:57:00 | I read that at around lunchtime. Quite funny actually, thinking getting kazaa premium service allows you to download illegal material - how naive. I use kazaa for try before you buy. I've wasted too much money buying a cd and it was no good. So I use P2P to test out all the songs on an album. If I like any of them in particular I'll download a higher quality version of the song - instead of wasting money on buying the whole album with only one good song on it. Otherwise if there is 4 or more great songs on an album I'll buy the cd - purely because I can get better quality sound than from an mp3, and then I can create my own compilations of it. I don't think filesharers have clicked on yet to lossless audio compression. Maybe its just too big, but I don't mind 20Mbs per song if someones willing to share it. 20Mbs on "broadband" (128k) is nothing really. |

I don't think it is legal, Caffy, but if you are wanting to backup older cassettes and albums that you cannot find CDs for then who cares if it is legal or not, just do it . I have done it with all my old tapes so that I can play them on the PC and CD player instead of tape deck . Besides, I had to back up my old tapes in case they got chewed up, the way some of my favorites met their fate . :-( |

| 174191 | 2003-09-11 05:45:00 | The thing is that a majority of people using file-sharing software are on dial-up connections. It also saves space on people's computers, where a song takes up 5mb instead of 20mb. | somebody (208) | ||
