But why don't you accept things people send? Sendspace isn't illegal in any way...

I don't say anything. If people want to give me marijuana, I'll say "no thanks". If you want to give your friend some marijuana, go ahead.

Do I ever say anything about you guys sending stuff to eachother?

No I mean why don't you personally let us send you stuff? I could send you three of those four albums you're buying on iTunes.

Because I don't want it. I'll buy it myself.

If I want to listen to it, I'll listen to 30 second samples (the deceiving little buggers) or watch a video on Youtube (which, Chodus, is not illegal :] )

You could get whole albums on Sendspace, which isn't illegal, either.. but whatever floats your boat, son.

Well, next time you buy a CD you don't like, you'll want your money back, I bet.

Situation: A radio station has a "Special Album" night every week, where they play a whole album, beginning to end. One week, they decide to play Abbey Road. Would it be illegal to tape record that album for your personal enjoyment later on whenever you want to hear it? I mean, you're getting it for free on the radio already anyway. Given x amount of time, you will hear the album again on the radio for free. So, instead of waiting, you can record it.

Situation: A friend that you invited to your birthday party gives you Tommy by the Who on CD. At the moment you open it, you have no concern on how your guest obtained the new, unopened CD. You're just grateful that you have a friend that gave you a good album. The next week in school, you found out that your friend stole the CD, literally, from the music store. Nobody paid for it. The artist gets no money from it. Yet, you have the album for free, and your friend gave it to you for free.

i've never seen it on anything but the first time i seen that picture i loved it. because really taping didn't kill music just as downloading doesn't. no matter how much i download it doesnt' have the same feeling as going to some type of store and digging through the stacks and finding what i want.

Actually I've never bought a CD I regretted buying. But, knowing how much music there is out there, I'll probably will some day (assuming we don't see the downfall of cd's and [much more likely] drm's).

I have a thing for buying the cd. I love the cases, I love the audio quality of the cd, I love the booklets and the album artwork. I wouldn't tape it because that would be akward. Kind of like writing down an entire book on sticky notes and reading them when you can't find the book.

And I don't know what I would do with it. Probably give it back to my friend. If I return they'd think I stole it, but I'd have the gratification of doing the right thing.
Uh, no, actually I don't care about the gratification. :|

That totally makes sense since you download off iTunes...

iTunes is cheap and instantaneous, which is the only reason I do it. If I buy the cd, the money isn't going anywhere, so how much the artist gets in royalties is not a factor.

I hate DRM's, though. I can't burn it onto a CD, I can't use it in applications aside from which forth it hath come, and they'll all get f'cked up somehow in a couple of years and I'll have to rebuy it anyways.

Downloading illegally is free and instantaneous. Also, any music file, unless in a lossless format, isn't CD quality.
