The only new music I acquire is purchased at live gigs of the band or bought from our local independent retailer of known artists. Don't download music and hear very little new or interesting music on mainstream radio. Hate the reality idle way of finding fly by night talent and am saddened by the masses who go along with this and fuel the lifestyle of those who leech off the talent of others.
As for the cost of single tracks being 50p, I can remember buying a whole album for 50p
This government has legislated us to death, with more custodial crimes on the statue books than ever before. Why in all honesty should we be at all surprised by yet another ill thought out piece of legislation which could easily catch the innocent & therefore end up failing to do what it was meant to.
