Music copy protection

I don't get it, because I have a desirable booty I think.

Maybe you should workout. Get a nice booty, and then you'll be ok.

lol:D

my booty ain't bad either.... thanks for the reminder to check out my booty once in a while when the shrew gets ya down...:mad:

I never said I stole music. I said I wouldn't feel shame for anyone if I did. (includes you, DPQ)

When you say you haven't bought a cd in a year, and you are pro-mp3 'sharing' it makes one assume that you do steal music. You were implying that it would be ok since they are the 'bad guys'. Alot of people assume just because theres a big corp. behind something that its ok to be assholes to them.

Buying a used CD is on a completely different level.

And last time i checked just because someone isn't yelling down your throat for you not to steal their music doesn't mean its 'ok' to do it.

I don't have to "defend" s#@t to you
Correction, you CAN"T defend it.

Its stealing. All you do is this BS logic and vague arguments. Come on, do your stupid mother joke, it just might make me feel less wrong. Come on, i dare on.

I'm not arguing against Mp3s. i love mp3s. I can get a wide varity of music samples from unknown artist on mp3.com, and sample Cds before i buy them. They are the best thing that happened the the music industry. Theres also always emusic.com

deker Uh can you clarify. You yourself created the music and sold cds? Not mixed other people's music and sold it? *cracks knuckles*

and its really not your choice to decide if someone deserves money or not. People pay more money to go with the big guys in hopes that their CD can be more widly distributed. Claiming that you only want to do it for the little guys is BS. Is the music any less great because they happen to be 'big' did they do any less work?

do you feel better yet? boy, I sure hope so.

I used to be all mega-political and stay up late at night bitching and moaning about every issue known to mankind, and signing up for newsletters and making my dollar donations, etc....then, I realized one day that I can't personally fix everything. All of a sudden, I can sleep better at night, and I'm a much happier person. People are a lot easier to get along with, and I'm generally liked by all, or most of the people who surround me. I'm not saying DON'T stand up for what you believe, because it's a really good song, but seriously....c'mon, go easy on yourself.

Nobody can fix all the things you hate. Not even you, smarty-pants. So, go get some sleep and stop the life-long protest march. You'll be better off.

...and the best thing to happen to the music industry wasn't mp3.com - - it was Run DMC, baby!:p

realized one day that I can't personally fix everything

I'm sorry you lost faith in your beliefs. I don't expect, never expected, to change the world. But if there one person saying 'yes yes yes' publically, i'm sure as hell going to be saying 'no!' if i don't happent to agree with it.

I never realized that if you can't change something instantly you just give up. You seemed to have had some troubles fighting for what you believed to be 'right'. I'm sorry you lost sleep over that i however, don't. So be a dear and don't compare yourself to me.

Nobody can fix all the things you hate. Not even you

OHMYGOD, really? damn, i should just go home and lock myself in my room now shouldn't i?

Note that the topic sentence of that paragraph was mp3s.

:D you ever notice how proper grammar goes down the tubes in forums? We ought to be ashamed of ourselves for not using proper capitalization.

I didn't bail on my beliefs, I just quit letting them run my day-to-day. BTW, the Mumia Abu-Jamal decision yesterday in Philadelphia was one of the causes I contributed my artwork, time and money towards for two years or more. Mumia's life was saved by an organization I helped with, and it feels great to be a contributor. It also may send a message to the Fraternal Order of Police as well. I think they are the most corrupt, bogus organization in America - Okay, they're top ten...

Another of my strong feelings is to fight censorship of modern art, be it movies, music or fine art in museums. I also contribute to the guerilla girls and their fight to balance out fine art in museums amongst the genders. I've donated to the American Indian Movement as well as others.

you left the smary-pants thing alone? you're slippin'.

You are all pirates of music...and you're going to hell. Mp3s are bad and you should just stay away from them because the devil works through mp3s, and when you listen to them, he grabs your brain and yanks it his way...and then he has you in his grip.

Been nice knowing you sinners.

'm saying why bother doing anything in the first place as we wont be around long enough to experience it

Thats because we are all lazy on message boards.
There used to be someone here would Type Like This With Every First Letter Of The Word In Caps, It Used To Drive Me Crazy.

Dude you post your comments in public, and i argue against them. how is that in any way running my life?

you left the smary-pants thing alone? you're slippin'.

Trust me any responce i would have made to that would have just brought the argument down a few levels.

Actually, thats is over at GUIstuff.
I can't remember his name, but it drove me crazy too.

Are you sure he wasn't over here? I could have sworn *taps chin*

Anyways, i had fun harrassing him *sings* memories
