| 322494 | 2005-02-07 10:24:00 | This is subsequent to the ongoing discussion in the thread "CD Copying threats". I am curious to know what you would consider a fair price that you would be willing to purchase a legitimate copy of a single song for. I am using a single song as that is what most people download (those with bandwidth to burn can download whole albums of course). As opinions are posted in the thread mentioned above, I am just looking for an indication here. However feel free to post a comment or an opinion if you like. |

| 322496 | 2005-02-07 11:11:00 | What's the quality of the downloaded media? If it's not lossless I wouldn't buy it at all. | E|im (87) | ||
| 322497 | 2005-02-07 11:49:00 | Without wanting to start a debate once again.... I wouldn't buy a single, 45 minutes of worthwhile music is a low standard that should be strived for, not dismissed for a 3 minute jingle about sex ,hating their mum or being a miserble spolit brat. So full album packs only for me,and i would pay......um.......$5 per album of cd quality wav files. And if too little was going to the creators of the music (next to nothing i would imagine) then I wouldn't bother at all. There are enough worthless fatcats on the planet without me feeding them my hard earned money. |

| 322498 | 2005-02-07 12:16:00 | I voted less than $1 which I think is fair, but untill this comes about I will continue using the last option | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 322499 | 2005-02-07 20:44:00 | I wouldn't, now if you were talking about buying CDs for $20 I would certainly be buying more. | Jeremy (1197) | ||
| 322500 | 2005-02-08 07:33:00 | Ah . One song . I was thinking an album @ $5 . One song? I suppose $1 but I can't think when I'd actually do that . |

| 322501 | 2005-02-08 08:12:00 | Music used to be worth paying a whole album for. I used to be able to buy whole compilations (The Now! series) of deacent songs (Got Now! 8 to 13), but with the latest crap that's loaded on, the only thing I'm likely to buy is blank CDs with the sounds voucher. | Edward (31) | ||
