Your views on downloading pirited copys

Downloading pirated music is fine, as long as its Metallica.

ANYTHING to piss Lars "If you dont want to pay $14 for our CD, i dont want you as a fan" Ulrich off a bit more

I warez MS stuff, because I hate bill gates... :ninja:


Its probably never alright to do it, although I do it. Its not deemed "Right" because its steeling. But feck it, I dont care.

I think it's hilarious that I've downloaded shed loads of Metallica music, and it was only after downloading them that I found out how good their music is. I now own all but their latest album ('cause its utter ****e), and listen to said albums regularly.

If he came round to my house, he'd still try and anal me, even though, just like most of his fans, I do download music, I just buy the decent stuff. God that guys a moron.

It isn't steeling [sic], it's copyright infringement.

Copyright infringement is illegal, but it ain't stealing.

I think the majority of people on this thread (those who claim not to d/l mp3s, software etc.) are talking out their arsé. Fúckin pathetic.

Me and my friend were talking just now and he says its ok to download episodes of stargate because it he could have just taped it off the TV?
Is it illegal to tape anything from the TV or radio?
Or just illegal to distribute it?

It's illegal to tape something off the TV. Remember when taping off the radio was supposed to "destroy the music industry?" :rolleyes:

I Take offence to that.

I dont download any music
I dont buy any CD`s
I dont buy any Tapes
I dont buy any of those things that go in mini disc players

I do not like music so i have no reason to DL it.

Same. Friend gave me MP3s of the Black Album last year, and I went out and bought it a few weeks later. And now I quite like my metallica. In fact, I like it enough that I shelled out €60 for a ticket to their concert in Dublin in June. And I'm one customer they'd never have had if it wasn't for MP3s.
