Hi,

I would like to download a shitload of music and I don't want to pay a dime. Yea, I'm one of those guys.

What programs do you, the stripcreator faithful, recommend?

"The most sobering aspect of WiLL ZoNe's scribblings is that the ability to artistically arrange words in an amusing manner does not qualify someone to be the leading social voice of anything."

Limewire is ok, works best with my leeching anyway

I dumb :D

Do you realize that every time you download a song for free, you bring a tear to the eye of a wealthy recording industry executive somewhere?

But I guess you don't care about that, huh?

Great place for P2P news and reviews of the programs. I say try out DC++, Limewire, Shareaza and Soulseek.

Though, Limewire is full of spyware, so maybe avoid that one.

Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants.

IThe one like is cat >.

Then again, I'm old school.

Limewire is spyware-y, as DX pointed out, unless you're using a mac.

If you're not, or even if you are, Soulseek is fantastic.

Shame on you all. Stealing music is just like stealing someone's car.

OK -- it's more like stealing an effortlessly replaced exact duplicate of that car.

OK -- it's nothing like stealing a car.

I love those anti-piracy ads.

See, when I download an MP3, a copy of the relevant CD vanishes from a shop somewhere...

This signature has performed an illegal operation and has been shut down.

When you download music, you're downloading communism!!!

I saw that line on a fake ad somewhere on the net and am too tired to dig it up.

I saw a real ad somewhere that likened stealing music to helping the terrorists.

It was such a waste of everyone’s time and money that even the Tokyo stadium’s rape robots apologized– something they were programmed specifically never to do.

Is this it?

Mediocrity at its most average.

Downloading free mp3's steals the money from all the rich hobnobbers in the music industry. It's funny, they still get paid, just not as much....

Reminds me of the NHL and their pissy fight.

I wonder if cloning hockey players to replace the current ones would count as piracy?

---
I dumb :D

Even musicians will try and guilt-trip people into not downloading mp3's because it "doesn't support the artists." And I must call bullshit on that, because if a record store buys an artist's cd's, hasn't the label/artist already made money?

And good luck finding more rare recordings and especially foreign ones without downloading software.

Yes, because stealing isn't illegal if it's from the rich and you don't get caught.

Poop.

Stop using the word "stealing" when nothing's gone.

I've been looking for a light for days. At last I found one! Sir, I represent the FIAA, and I am going to sue your ass off for stealing our fire.

yep the cartels are shitting their pants because people have cottoned on to the fact they no longer need them, and their unjust profiteering on the back of artists talents (or in many cases non-talent) will eventually come to an end.

Bands should simply stick a dontate button on their websites, and if people like what they download then they can throw a bit of cash their way, cut out the middleman entirely.

Here's a solution...

A band should put out an album with ALL good songs on it. Not just one or two, ALL!! Then I would buy the CD. Artists are freakin lazy sometimes, especially if they know that if they put out one good song they will make money and tour.

---
I dumb :D

Those artists are not worth your time, go find some that are actually worthy of money.

Poop.

DON'T DOWNLOAD IT GO OUT AND BUY THE RECORD
