[QUOTE="dertoxia:991116"][QUOTE="spaldino:991098"]its all over the web, you can find it easily. i post up big name album leaks that i find and i'm usually first on here to know of the albums being leaked, seeing as that sometimes i wait a couple days after a leak and no one posts anything about it until i offer up a link. I believe that downloading isnt as much of a crime as anyone makes it out to be. people getting sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars over a few songs is a crime. to be honest, and i have said it before, i would love to have my music downloaded thousands of times... it just means more people are likely to show up to a show and buy merch. you know... the real revenue generators for bands.[/QUOTE] dude you've got the right attitude man. that's how it should be. bands should be honored that people would even want to listen to their music at all. Not sue their fans for trying to listen to their music. I think that bands should host free high-quality mp3's or even lossless audio from themselves so people don't have to resort to torrents or limewire. It's proving to work with the cable industry. just look at NBC and Hulu. You make sure that you're providing the best quality for free and that takes away any reason for people to use 'illegal' downloading. If people want the physical copy so they have an actual disc and artwork then make that available too...for a reasonable price, not $20. You make your $$ back from merch sales. I think people are more willing to actually go to shows and buy merch if they know the band and know they are realistic about the state of the music industry. Sorry about the rant. It's just cool when bands get it and understand we're undergoing a musical revolution right now and evolve with it. For example, and no i don't like radiohead at all, but what they did where they put their CD up for download and let people pay whatever they wanted. Pure genious. When we're talking virtual sales there's no risk like pressing actual discs. The difference between 10,000 downloads and 1,000,000 is basically nothing. So what if only half the people who download pay anything, you're no worse off. You make money and your fans are happy knowing they got their high quality music from the band itself and not off limewire.[/QUOTE]
