MAD HARRY 27 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Totally related. Gig tickets are a lot more expensive than they used to be and well above inflation. I think its agreed that's one of the main reason is the thieves downloading illegal music. You also only have to look at festival prices from 10 years ago to see the increase.

muffinman Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) I illegal download and I have no shame in it what so ever. With about 6000 songs on my iPod, if I were to buy them all perfectly legally then my iPod would be worth more than a car with full insurance and a full tank of petrol. I illegally download, and then if I really think the band are that good, then I'll buy merchandise, go to shows etc. Illegal Downloading is just a proving ground. I downloaded albums from bands like Foster The People, Florence and The Machine, Less Than Jake, do I really want to invest money into these people when I didn't even enjoy listening to their music?

MAD HARRY 27 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 You should take a listen on YouTube or spotify before you download them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD HARRY 27 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 A bollocks you edited your comment! Hahaaa To be quite honest when I want to sit in my room listening to music I don't want to faff about on YouTube, I want it on my iPod so I can try get into it while I'm on the bus or on walks where there isn't Internet connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetime Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Then how do you expect people to discover and fall in love with new music? Do I regret downloaded Rolling Stones, Ray Charles, At The Drive In, Radiohead, The Beatles? no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD HARRY 27 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I suppose its thus generation that will miss trawling through record shops looking for something obscure or hearing a song in the shop from a artist they don't know and buying the album. Where's the excitement, where's the beauty gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mean Bean Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Well you might aswel just steal a car then aswel. It beggers belief where a forum that is into music admits to ripping the artists of like illegal downloaders and the crap they try and justify it with.

mrtourette Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) I occasionally illegally download (usually if I want something on my iPod that I've only got on tape or vinyl) and buy second hand (usually to get up to date with back catalogues) and I have a great time doing it. I justify it by the fact that I have a massive record and CD collection and probably kept Our Price in business for a good few months longer than it should have been, so I've done my bit for the record industry. Since Spotify I do it a lot less though, that's definitely a better way to check out stuff if you aren't sure about it. Unfortunately for me the days of walking into a record shop every Monday and buying two or three albums without knowing much about them are long gone.

mrtourette Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 With new, smaller bands I will buy first hand to support them, or if I have to preorder then I'll be getting stuff new, but do the likes Mick and Keef really give a fuck that my somewhat enormous Stones collection didn't send a penny their way?

VCK Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 The Courteeners are so overrated. If they weren't from Manchester and clinging to their city's past glories they wouldn't have half the hype they get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
