Ya know… I don't get it.
When I was a kid I worked my whole summer to buy albums, The Beatles, Zeppelin, Sabbath etc. The work was worth it because there was a new album waiting for me every weekend. It was great.
Answer this for me DeathMonkey….
If the CD's are readily available for any kid to purchase and they don't even have to walk down to the store like I did, why are you upset that they are getting sued when they just took the music?
I don't understand, the solution is really easy…. don't want to get sued? Pay for the product! It works the same way for music as it does for the guitar strings I bought last night, the new light fixture that I bought at Home Depo over the weekend and the Wendy's hamburger I had on the trip home.
If you want to say that the product sucks and it is not worth buying... then don't listen to it. Is it worth the potential lawsuit for music that you are not going to listen to or is it that you are just too cheap to pay for something that you can just take?
And if you want to say that the company is rotten, I think Guitar Center is rotten but I still don't get to walk out of the store with a pack of strings because I don't like the company.
Again, for the folks defending the "poor kids" please please please explain why they shouldn't have to pay for the music just like I did as a kid or just like we all do with anything else in our lives?!?!?! I just don't get why everyone gets a free pass today.
