um... but what about pirating the OtR Tribute CD?
see, double standard?
i'm pro-file sharing. i'm pro-artist. i'm
pro-indie. i'm generally against the big
record companies who screw over their
artists.
i normally download rare songs. sometimes
i'll download a lot of one artist, and then
go out and buy the CD. yes, it does happen.
artists should get their money for their
songs. i agree with that.
i also don't want to pay too much.
i have a double standard sometimes, too.
i don't believe in general pirating and copying
someones CD that i borrowed with no intentions
of buying the real deal.
i borrowed Bruce's Elliott Smith _Figure 8_
for a show that i was going to, and i'd never
heard him before. i burnt the CD for my own.
i went to the show and loved it. i've since
bought EVERY SINGE Elliott Smith album out
there, including the official _Figure 8_.
same thing with SDRE... i borrowed Megan's
SDRE _Pink EP_. saw them in concert. bought
5 more SDRE CDs since then, plus a solo CD by
their lead singer.
there's got to be some give and take. i'm
definitely pro-artist, though.
