This must be a new message board phenomenon: members who get pissy if they don't get the free music they want, exactly how they want it. I've seen it elsewhere, too.
I just want it stated for the record that I feel that if a legitimate version of an album exists and you like it, you are ethically bound to purchase said legitimate version.
I take this too far in that I will not keep something in my iTunes if I do not plan on purchasing the real copy...EVER. I am rather obessive about having a real copy.
I feel like I need to state this since I started this thread. I feel that downloading without the follow up purchase is horrible and I despise that for what it is doing to independent stores.
I would not have started this thread on just any board and part of my reason for starting it here is that I really think that most of us would be ethical about this. I really feel that downloading in this sense can help labels and artists.
