Fear of Music all the way…

Metallica Dump A Load On Fans.

I really like the video with the old man. That every metal band did around the same time. What was up with that old dude???

Ever heard No Life Til Leather? While a lot of it sounds identical to Kill Em All, and some of it is worse (seriously, that Mechanic song? so glad the lyrics got changed to Four Horsemen), but there's also parts where Mustaine absolutely shreds.

That was fucking awesome!

If I offer you twenty bucks to use your mouth for whatever filth purpose I can come up with you'd say…? If no, then how about a hundred? A thousand? I mean, what you're saying is, everyone's a whore for the right price. Quite the cynical attitude.

I seem to remember another band making a video about stealing beers… https://www.youtube.com/wat…

It's funny, I've been replying to this week old discussion and just now realizing every single thing has already been said… including that link. XD I will shut up now.

I'd be interested to see some actual facts backing up those claims. Is it harder for new bands and artists to make a living? Is that b/c of piracy? I'm not being obtuse or trying to insinuate you're full of it. I'd really be interested to know what the actual figures are. Is record sales the main source of income for…

Your witty little asides are making me want to go download music. How's THAT for being an adult?

Haha you're right guys, that IS the argument. Kinda why it's a good idea to never discuss things online with anyone ever. They know what your argument is before you've said it and they're happy to take your argument and twist it into an unrecognizable balloon animal so they can feel justified in clinging to the belief…

The touring band sells CDs, t-shirts and etc etc. Digital distribution actually helps promote these groups, get wider exposure and sell out their shows. Hell, it even helps huge stars get even huger. *cough* Seriously, tho, look at Lady Gaga. Your album not going to sell in the millions? Sell it for a penny as a…

I've downloaded music. I've also checked CDs out of the library and copied them. I've also bought used CDs. In all those cases, neither the artist nor the record label received any money from me. But only one of those instances is considered "theft." (By you)

Yet you don't realize how your arguments come off as entitled self-serving justification? "If you can't pay for music, you shouldn't have music! Muwahaha!!!" Seriously, dude, lighten up. If someone wants to listen to a song, for free, why do you really care?

I had a computer with a file sharing program on it. I downloaded music. It was music I couldn't afford to buy. I wouldn't have bought any of it b/c I couldn't afford to. When I had money, I sometimes used it to buy music, sometimes even the songs/albums I'd already downloaded! When I didn't have a computer, the same…

Let them eat cake, huh? Now who sounds entitled?

The music industry in a nut shell: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

The record label is the one stealing from the musicians. Always and forever.

The record labels brought this all on themselves: http://www.nytimes.com/2000…

Stop stealing and go pay the copyright holder for your use of Batman! THIEF!
