Re: UK music downloader pays £2,500 after being caught.
I download tracks and albums that i *think* i will like and if i like them enough i will buy them.
If it wasnt for mp3 there are a lot of stuff that i wouldnt have bought.
The music industry expects us to buy something before you have even heard it - not on in my opinion - especially when the stuff you mostly listen too comes from bands, groups or DJ's you've probably never heard of.
I have about 27gig of music on my iPod - around 25 Gig of that is legit - Once i buy an album i will back it up from my PC onto my iPod at the bitrate and codec i use for a better copy, yet the industry is trying to bring in software on CD's that they intend to use to stop me from backing it up onto my iPod.
They can swing for all i care and i guarantee you that ANY album i buy that has copy protection goes back and instead i download it illegally.
How dare they doctor a CD that i want to listen to so that it dosent work in certain machines, thats just wrong IMO and they deserve what they get - which from me - is nothing.
