99 cents a song or 9.99 for a disc of 20 songs

9.99 also buys me some blank CDs , I can then use all the
FREE resources of the internet to get what I need.

Free from DRM , Free from " having to change " your playlist every " whatever the number is " times.
Yes you can burn your music , I can do that anyway.

( Money Adds Up Over Time , either for them , because you spend it , or for YOU , because you saved it )

If you have more than 100 MP3s and up , just imagine how much that would cost you...

Have you seen MTV Cribs ? Does it look like they are begging for change ? Do they look like they are in the poor house ? Then they talk about losing money ...

It cost money to make music , yes it does , it also cost money when most of the industry is controlled ,
it costs the independant musician money.

The independant musician does not have the resources the "MTVs Cribs" guys do.

Anyway it goes , I talk about downloading music in my songs , coming out in favor for it.
NOT against it.

So I'm saving my money for blank CDs to use.

WARNING : I curse in my music , Not alot , but alittle bit.
If it matters to you... It doesn't bother me , LOL

Soundclick has it's up and down times ,
NO email or login is needed to stream the MP3
(lo-fi and hi-fi )

Question : Does my music suck ?
Answer : Yes , all my music sucks , it always has. You don't see me on MTV do you ? LOL

FunkDevil Pro Downloading Music , 2 Rap Songs , 1 Rock Song.

Hey Everyone,
I agree with Kharybdis. If you download songs from an artist to sample if the album is worth buying, then that is alright. To the music industry that is free promotion. Although if you download albums at a time with no intention to buy them, then thats stealing.
"The reality is that file sharing has given you, the fan, an opportunity to sample the music before wasting your hard-earned money on lousy records."
"They don't want you to sample their music because they know that if the fans realize that there are only two good songs on a record, you will not buy it. ...We believe in our product."
-statements on Tech N9ne's Web site

Despite this, it is only moral is you are planning or thinking about buying the album. Are you one who steals the album or samples the album? Burning albums is also plain stealing.
Cheers Steve Cool

Some people prefer to do things legally, I suppose.
