ok, whoever thought up this DRM idea for stoping the copying of cds is retarded. I have to pay a lot of money so i can listen to my music on my ipod and once i buy the friggin cd, i cant listen to my music, if you guys are so smart make up an idea to let ipod consumers listen to our music, or else we wont buy it. And if you arnt gonna do it, at least let us know you are selling us a peice of shit that wont work. Its such BS, and the whole anonymous coward thing is also totaly BS, i dont give a flying f*ck about signing up onto your website.

You (and I) stopped buying because we know that we have a free will, majority of world population doesn’t have it any more - You have to buy it to be socialy acceptable…

People buy because someone has sucessfuly convinced them that they neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed that product, and we realise we don’t. And thats why cartels are waging a war on us - we are a baaaaaaaaad influence

But I must repeat something again:
If you download and like it - go buy it (if and when the price is right),
if not erase it! You don’t need that crap anyway… any you don’t want to help cartels by promoting something bad on download charts - right?

I’m on boycott too.
They won’t get a penny of my money with this attitude.
Lower the prices to a reasonable level and I’ll start buying.

Hmmmm do those copy protected cd’s have warnings that you can’t copy the music onto ipods? If i was one of those consumers, i’d be suing. Everybody, heck even the guys working in the record stores.

Why? Well, if noone’s willing to sell the copy protected cd’s for fear of being sued, the cartels will have to stop making them won’t they?

Those folks that spent the money on DRM products have no room to complain. Like the first poster, I’m on boycott. As far as I am concerned that boycott will extent the rest of my life or until the cartels see that the public is not a consumer but people and that they aren’t (inspite of their claims to the contary) loosing money over p2p. Boosting their hype with false figures isn’t going to help either.

The industry is gaining a rather foul reputation. They have no room to complain about how they are being treated as a results from the public.

Heh, I wonder how many of the downloads from P2P networks are people who have bought the album but were unable to play it?

I cannot understand why people are still buying crap from the cartels. I guess they really love paying high prices for crappy music and love seeing people get screwed by the RIAA. These same people who buy all of this crap are the same ones that complain about high prices and get mad at you when you suggest that they stop buying.

When the sue them all campaign started, I stopped buying. Independent music is much better, and I always can download something that is produced by the cartels if I feel compelled to listen to a certain song.
