Epic trolling ITT. Downloading music is for people that enjoy killing something they love.

lechaoscestmoi 02.09.2009 03:33 AM
easy. just google what you want to download and add "site:blogspot.com"
(e.g. " "Come Away with ESG" site:blogspot.com ").

But it hurts the benevolent mega-corporate record labels who always have the artists' best interests in mind!

"IF YOU DOWNLOAD THEN YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T LOVE MUSIC"

"QUIT DESTROYING THE INDUSTRY YOU THIEF"

etc.

heard it all before.

I am not gonna start an argument, but buying an actual recording from online, or an indie record store supports much more than just the persons who made the music.

Derek 02.09.2009 01:16 PM
Yeah and I would never argue that. But personally, I couldn't care how much someone downloads.

Absolutely. And 90% of people who download music also buy music. In fact studies have actually shown that the people who us peer to peer sites actually buy more music than the people whining about how downloading music is stealing!

In fact, there's a precedent, since people who listen to the radio (which the industry tried to shut down for "giving away music" in it's day too!) also buy more music.

oh and isohunt.com is far better than the piratebay etc.

lechaoscestmoi 02.09.2009 01:24 PM

this is what i do. i'm sorry, but a 30-second sample or one song on someone's myspace isn't enough to get me interested in an album. and if i download an album and don't like it, well i wouldn't have bought it anyway, and i end up deleting it. so how's that immoral ?


as for the thread topic:

http://www.blogscope.net/
http://www.sordomusic.com/db/

also try shareminer .

or loadingvault.

these all work. plus using the blogscope thing, you will find good blogs that will probably be a good resource for finding new music as well

better yet, buy it from the band when you see them live, if yr lucky enough to see them live!

davenotdead 02.09.2009 02:05 PM
i would. but bands never come near me. i have to drive 4 hours one way usually.

you guys in large cities don't know how good you have it. going to see a concert ends up costing $60+ for gas, meals etc. and if i have to stay overnight, it often ends up hitting $100... so maybe bands should start paying me for gas money, plus all the time i spend hyping/blogging giving them free publicity.

davenotdead should be paid for his music love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

davenotdead 02.09.2009 02:09 PM
YES

Thank you for recognizin' Rob. rep has been sent.

Dead-Air 02.09.2009 02:34 PM
I think we're onto something here. I already encourage people to download my band's music for free (even "steal it" if that makes them feel like a rebel). I suppose we need to start paying them next!

i didn't really make any friends on here because i didn't have good taste in music and i couldn't internet argue for the life of me, but 1/2 of that has changed.

my pre-mature notions of music have finally made it through puberty, and now that they have i am noticing that illegally downloading music is so much harder.

does anyone know any good torrents&or downloading limewire-esque applications that can scrape up that 'hard-to-get-muzack' that i'm craving???

I just got into ESG (emerald, sapphire, gold) and i looked on pirate bay and limewire. but i just can't find their shit.

suggestions, help? por favor??
