Re: ripping CDs does cause purchases...!!!
I always agree with DJ Dan.
When I started my magical Napster journey, I was
all high and mighty and only got stuff that was
already mine - digital copies of records I'd had,
for example. A few months later I was getting
prerelease stuff of things I knew I'd buy when
they were released. Then I was downloading things
that it seemed like I would like.
Then it all went downhill.
I liked too much of what I downloaded, and was
burdened by the purchases of said albums. schwoo!
I'm glad Shawn Fanning was stopped in his tracks.
His evil scheme of making Bruce broke from disco-
vering and buying all that music almost worked.
CD cases, art, etc., are all fun for me.
