My self imposed boycott of all cds. Here's how it works.  The Library of Congress has decided, thanks to the glorious influence of those ... bastards (for lack of several words that I want to call them) over at the RIAA, that all webcasters must pay a small fee, per song per listener, for songs they have to pay.  Granted I know this isn't exactly how it works, but in laymans terms that's it. First off, The internet is no longer an american elitest thing, it's international.  I would love to see how they're gonna enforce this internationally, or if they even bother.  Anyways, it just pisses me off. Some Reading for you to make up your mind with: SomaFM  Dead - Jun 20 2001 And if that isn't enough, they want to make you pay 6% tax on used cds that you buy, so i'm not even gonna bother paying for those.  From now, I'm just gonna steal all the music I want.  Or maybe i'm gonna institute an idea I had earlier, download the cd off the internet, and then send the band 20$.  I say give the money to the people that actually deserve it.  Yea, that's all i'm gonna say about that.

Your Ideas are something that i've had for a long time, the only reason that most CD's are $20 is because of the record labels that the bands are working for, the bands could care less what price they sell their music for, most of 'em are just in it for the "good times" therefore, i have decided that when i download music off the internet, or whatever () I shall send the maker of the music....a little email....comprising of praise if the song was good, or something else....if it wasn't....

Swomz, please tell me your not that naive. Bands are after the American Dream, money. I agree with 3 ont his one. Download the music off Morpheus, or Winmx or Audiogalzy, then send the band money.I gave up buying cd's long ago. Now i just goto concerts and download. Music is not for corporations to plunder america's youth with. It was founded as a form of communal entertainment, and that is what it should be. Imagine in the middle ages if you had to pay 5 gold coins to listen to music in church...its ludacris....good point 3...and keep on doin what your doin
