There are endless possibilites how it could happen...really

by the way i jus wanna say big up to mr loc (about downloading albums and shit) cuz at first i was kinda like whatever u wanna do, i mean i didnt care, i mean i always supported artists i liked, but now im jus kinda against it as a whole.. i mean its bomb az fucc havin kurupt three weeks before it comes out and im gunna do a fuccin early tuesday pick up when that shit drops but too many motherfuccas download tons of shit and dont buy it.. and i've been guilty of that too, i mean i've burnt soo many copies of cd's for my friends.. i kinda feel bad now, but i mean i cant do anything bout it, im jus not gunna do it anymore..

[Mr_Loc]

too many motherfuccas download tons of shit and dont buy it.

exactly, thats the whole problem. a lot people dont even consider  buying music now.

just think, this technology (online downloading) could of been one the greatest things to happen to the music industry. instead its looked at as one of the worst.

If used correctly, it can help the industry in many ways.
-People can access music they wouldnt normally hear (just the other day i downloaded some house music for example). even if they dont end up buying the song, they can find an appreciation for new genres.
-New artists can spread their music and get people to hear it without the aid of radio/television
-Albums can be easily previewed in the comfort of the listeners home.

but then the greedy, bad side of society, as always, fucks it up. So many cheap mufuckas dont see the good points of the technology, for them its just a way of saving some money, or making them look good (eg online ripping groups such as RNS).

so then napster gets shut down, and im sure all these other programs will eventually too. people need to realize its not these programs that are doing the damage, its the people that misuse them.

Its a shame, but thats the way it is. Ignorant, greedy people fuck it up for the rest of us

i think part of the problem was that RIAA didnt properly respect the possibilities of downloading songs.. if they would've embraced the technology who knows what things would be like now, but i dont think overall that they've felt any real impact... i mean i'm sure artists hav felt an impact but as a whole i'm the pretty sure the big 5 hav a had recordbreaking year in sales, just like they do and have every year for awhile..

[Trauma-san]

Man, But Movie Ticket Sales Are Up Big Too.

So I Think Napster Isn't Why The CD Sales Are Up.

[AlerG]

fuck it i never buy cd's no more, i really don't care, they still sell...i ain't paying 15 bones when i can get a cdr for 1...it's a beautiful world...quit trippin about this shit, it's all good, peace.

[So Much Style]

yeah alerg i know what your sayin, but when artists like kurupt and dre release i actually get the cd, because i want the real cd and the booklet, that is my motivation actually

[West Coast Veteran]

^^^ word i usually cop the albums from my favortie MC's...so i can have the full collection of their albums...

[Ro J. Simpson]

word vet, i hate ownin burned copies, it pisses me off, hella cheaper tho...

[Nosak]

...because i want the real cd and the booklet, that is my motivation actually

not only that,, but if we ain't givin a shit to thoses artists man,, they ain't gonna give us a shit to,,, just like somebody else on this board said but i don't remember, i think it was trauma  :-/
