Controversial opinions on metal

Go back and re read my point, I was clearly talking about PCs since I mentioned hard drives and modems. You're the one that brought up your cell phone's lack of data which you assumed was the norm. To which I loled and proved you wrong that you're actually in the minority.
Your point, to break it down, was that there isn't a difference betweem streaming repeatedly, and downloading then listening repeatedly. Which, DUE to cell phones and mobile data being a thing, was incorrect and I explained why.
 
I gave my reasons for why I think downloading is bad. Mainly related to entitlement and how it creates issues for bands and record labels.

I also gave evidence that people who said it wasn't stealing were incorrect. I already made it clear that my opinions are irrelevant in the discussion of what is and is not legal.

If people could buy a cd they like then people would not download it. No one gives a shit about albums that people download anyways. So who cares. People don't buy cds anymore anyways.

Despite your very inarticulate assertion, plenty of people do actually still buy CDs. The fact that limited press CDs sell out within a few hours is proof of that.

Eh dumbass super limited trinket edition vinyl sells out quickly, CDs not so much usually.

It definitely depends on the band. People also eat up things like those two-disc deluxe editions of older albums that are coming out constantly nowadays with the demos and rare stuff on them. I own dozens of them myself and a lot of them are pretty expensive now just a few years later because they're not being reprinted.
