yes 'Cos it's a hard copy of what you are paying for with hard earned cash. Data on your computer; anything can happen to it!

I honestly can't understand when you would buy any of that stuff when you could download CD rips of the same sound quality for free?

Paying for music nowadays seems a bit 1993.

So would you rather not be paid for going to work then?

I have to say I used napster back in the good old days when at Uni but strangely I still ended up buying the CDs I liked I have to say I think people that only download music and films really piss me off.

I agree, but meh, Someone else can pay their fees, I think they make enough money as it is.


Once they start scraping the barrel for money then I might consider it but for now, all is good smile

This is actually for non music stuff, as I don't listen to music.

That doesn't take a genius, just burn it to CD or back it up.

Surely you mean you're making a remote backup of their music in case the artist should lose their master copy...
