Here originals cost 20 EUR-os and average pay is 200 EUR-os.Because of this i walked into the music store that sels "originals"(i was impresed only by prices) and i asked the clerk:"Who the hell do you think you are gonna sell this "originals" when people are nearly starving to death?" & "Please explain why the hell should i give 10 times more money for something that is absolutely the same as pirate?"He just put his head down and said "You are meanie."

Morals, I hope you're familiar with them.
Yay, let's turn this into a piracy thread!
Welsh - Actually, I live in Waynesboro, but I go to Charlottesville often. Do you ever go to the Tokyo Rose? It's a little club in the basement of a sushi bar in ... damn... UVA Student shopping square or something like that... I don't know. Anyway, yeah, that's really cool in you're in C'Ville. It's a small world, eh?

Malk- Sure been there. I think they still do Goth night on Fridays. It's been awhile and the buddy who used to drag me in like to stare at one of the wattresses.
ANother great sushi place is at the downtown mall in that little indoor shopping area.
Small world indeed.
But Kharn- that's one of the points. I agree that piracy is bad for a variety of reasons. But some of the points we raised early- how it potentially screws the industry and the beginning artist might also be more true if we look at the way music is already marketed.
In a world in which a few big interests control the dissemination of ideas, shouldn't we allow for alternative channels, even if they might be illegal?
If we support or follow a set of rules that supports and profits a few interests, is it that wrong to undertake alternative means for the benefit of a larger group of interests?
If people don't utilize this means to protest, than we potentially hamper the market from its own self regulation away from oligopolistic organization towards a more freer competive organization.

Radio suckage increases proportionally to the number of changes made to my favourite station's original programme (used to be '60s-'90s classics, now it's mostly '80s-now, more advertising, more idiotic disc jockey banter, and a smaller and more repetitive playlist).

Malk- I have to go back there, if only for the sushi. This Friday, wife returns so I am going nowhere.
DJ- Do you mean that the radio is going increasingly Popular? It seems a shame that some of the only bastions of good radio are unversity paid for radio stations, and that commercial stations have sold out to pop audiences.
But we almost have a circular problem. Fewer free stations make them more expensive. To retain business you have to sell to a mass audience, which means popular music.
At the same time, maybe the tastes of music listeners is so varied that no station can play to a given audience in order to keep enough listeners.

One of the things that bothers me about this is that classic rock seems to have shot itself in the foot.
By replaying the same damn artists they don't give new artists a chance.
ANd rock is about being young, sex, drugs, rebellion, teenage angst.
Having 60 year olds doing rock is just wrong. I know some of the music is great, but jeez, when will the Rolling Stones die already (and yes I am a fan!).
If new acts don't get a chance the genre dies. How many times has it happened that you listen to classic rock, play "name that tune" and get the song in just one fucking note!
