Comment Lock me up and throw away the key (Score 1) 427
I pay my lousy .88 cents per song to Walmart when I only want to d/l one song. I buy a lot of used music CDs from Ebay and Amazon for cheap. I also check out CDs from my local library and then omigod copy the songs onto my hard drive. I don't share them with anyone. I don't even burn very many CDs. I work 16-18 hours a day on the computer and enjoy being able to listen to different kinds of music. Guess that makes me a no-good lying dog thief in the eyes of the RIAA?
In fact, I gave away my stereo because I wasn't using it at all anymore. I think it's a dumb step backwards to start telling consumers that they need to buy a separate CD player if they want to listen to their music CDs.
