I have finally become fed up with the viruses and dodgy porn links from Limewire and I have realised that it will be a good six months until I can start earning money for music - and that will all go on guitar stuff - because I'VE DISCOVERED TORRENTING!
I'm not in the mood for discussing the moral argument about downloading music illegally, we all know that the RIAA rape their artists royally and there's probably a similar industry going on here in Britain, and we all know that real bands should want loyal fans before they want £££. So, on that basis and my lack of money I have started clawing my way through torrent websites.
After finally realising the truth in "Most thrash you won't be able to buy anyway" spoken by the elitist MHDrunk in the Thrash Thread I went straight into the Torrent Help Thread and found out about uTorrent - for I knew nothing of this magical E-kingdom - and I went searching for appropriate sites.
I immediately downloaded two albums I was in dire of: "Enemy of God" by Kreator and "Killing Peace" by Onslaught; they are both utterly fantastic works of European death thrash, but that's not the matter. The matter is that I can find nearly any music, without viruses, whole albums and no risk of having the FBI sending me to Guatanamo Bay for "theft," but they only care bout the RIAA, not the artists - just needed to be said.
So, in short, PIRACY ROCKS, and it rocks even more when you get away with it and even more again when the quality of the pirated music or video is as good as the real deal, and it rocks even more because it's free.
I'm a cheap cowardly bastared and I'm fucking proud.
I know exactly what you're saying. I download the shit like I did for Dark Angel's Leave Scars and Darkness Descends and I'm looking around for cheap ones. and I found Leave Scars and Time does not heal for $10 each. So now I need to earn 20 bucks, and they go on my shelf. But it's a shame that it's illegal when a lot of what I'm trying to get is out of print. To solve the problem, start printing the albums again and sell em for cheaper.
