Record labels are loving this. At the same time....people will always find a way to get access to things. We'll see what happens.

Nothing like turning millions of piraters into 'Challenge Accepted' mode

I don't even download THAT much, but I'm sure if the luxury of doing it was to go away, I'd realize how much I really needed it. The world is changing my friends.

People will still find ways to download things and the record labels will be more pissed and go to a greater extreme and things will get even more crazy and the cat and mouse game will continue on.

Any chance of me paying for music or movies has gone out the window.

I'll stare at my blank wall if I have to.

...serious question. is it really that serious?
 
 
...what about the inconsistencies in quality from downloading vs owning a physical copy?

Everyone should take this stance. Ignore iTunes too. Wankers.

 

[dunk these]

this is BULL. i refuse to start paying!! the only time i do make a purchase is when an artist i support drops a CD at bestbuy.

downloaders > fruit cakes that cop tracks from iTunes for $0.99.

 

[ruxxx]
