I used to make mixed tapes off the radio. Am I going to hell???

Anyhooo....it's time for us to do something anti-RIAA..... any suggestions?
Maybe I'll start buying used CDs, burning copies of them, and then getting a full refund.
How's that sound?
Now mix tapes that brings back memories and sounds a lot better than hell too. I used to make some when I didn't feel like listening to the radio. Hey if a bunch of go to hell we'll bombard the Devil with Anthrax. Oh wait a minute I'm the Devil and the Devil lives in California. \nn/bRaTpRiNcEsS said:I used to make mixed tapes off the radio.

WOW..this just in...kids break the law too. What should the record industry do, just stand around with their fingers up their collective asses? Things are bad for the record industry as well as the artists, didnt you read? Its stealing people, I dont care how many times you say its not, it is. Plain and simple. Hell, I guess I could go up on stage at a concert and steal the bands equipment during soundcheck due to the fact that its not in their hands yet and say "Possession is 9/10ths of the law." or "Im just going to use it once to see how it sounds." Just because mommy and daddy never told her that downloading music is stealing, doesnt make it any less of a crime. Buying music never hurt anybody...its a victimless crime!!!ThraxMan said:Just goes to show you that the law know's no age. Things for the record industry must be bad if they resort to sueing kids which have no way to defend themselves.

Damn, if I was that disgruntled, I wouldnt even listen to music anymore. If you are buying shit, thats your fault. Most Mom and Pop record stores will let you listen to clips of each song or most of the album. They also have the scanners in stores now where you can sample every track off of the album prior to purchase. I guess you arent aware of that due to your admitted downloading habit, right? If I go out and buy a new kind of cereal that I think looks good but tastes like toe fungus, I cant take that shit back to the store and get my money back for "False Advertising"!! It doesnt matter how ripped off you feel about buying a load of shit, downloading is still illegal. Deal with it.......bands dont put out these albums for shits and giggles, they do it to survive and if they sound like shit, maybe you need to take a look at your musical tastes. Also, ive found that you can pick an album up years after it was released and fall in love with it after thinking it was a piece of shit the first time you heard it. A perfect example of that would be "Sound of White Noise" for me........One last thought, if you have 400 CD's and 500 tapes that suck, one of them has to be The New Kids on the Block "The Right Stuff" or Milli Vanilli, I just know it.SAZZ said:i cant remember how long they have been ripping us off for. they play the best song off the cd & you say "hey, this is pretty good" & you go off to the music store & buy it & you get 3 songs that are good & the other 10-12 suck. now you tell me that isnt ripping us off? i dont know how many times that has happened to me. im here sittng down looking at the 400+ cd's & 500+ tapes ive bought over the last 15 yrs. you add that up & all the music that just sits there collecting dust cause i barely listen to them & tell me how im ripping them off? FUCK THEM. ill stop downloading if they give me my money back for the stuff they put out that is shit.
I don't download, and I'm defending a person's right to download to sample the songs on an album. I still say they should buy the cd if they like it, but copying a whole album and no intention of buying it, wtf? Support the band, buy the cd, go to the concert, buy a t-shirt. But cd prices are way too frickin high.SlappyWhitey said:Damn, if I was that disgruntled, I wouldnt even listen to music anymore. If you are buying shit, thats your fault.
