I agree with the artist created their work and they deserve to be rewarded, I don't support the RIAA though. I buy all my music legally, from iTunes, but only after I have had a chance to sample the music. I don't like DRM and hate the fact that the RIAA is pushing it onto us. I can understand the need for DRM, but at the same time do not feel that it allows the freedom that has been allowed under US copyright laws.
If it were not for me downloading music, mostly one or two songs from bittorrent, limewire, kazaa or other applications, I would not have a huge legal collection amounting to well over $4000 worth of music. If I like music I buy it, when I buy it I look for more music like it. Kinda an infinite loop
It's a hunch, based on engineering intuition; there are too many hard-to-quantify variables to do any accurate calculations. Looking for some experimental corroboration or refutation. - Ether [more]
