An illegal download may carry a heavier sentence than killing someone with my car, bottling some innocent passerby, smashing up windows throughout town, GBH, random violence. Come to think of it. If I broke into the record store and stole every CD in there, I'd still not face a punishment as big as what could be handed out for downloading one single stinking pirated 'work'. 'Justice' it seems is only for the holders of copyright. AKA the digital mafia. |

Purchasing online is stupid because NONE of the big stores (Amazon, iTunes etc) sell FLAC. I once emailed Amazon asking if they had plans to sell FLAC or any other lossless format to which the reply was "What is FLAC and lossless?" This has always been my argument. I refuse to use iTunes because they are selling rubbish disguised and not up to the quality I want for the money they charge, same for all other download sites, so I still buy CD's. I used to be able to go to a record shop and listen to them first before buying or not. But I completely agree with the author of that article |
