I think it sucks. I used to download music almost everyday to check out new bands. If I really liked a band, I would go buy their CD. Now that luxury is gone.
It looks like I might be buying less records now. I don't think this is the type of the RIAA is expecting from people but I know quite a few people that used AudioGalaxy in the same way. Oh, well...

F#$% all those multi billion dollar record companies who can't stand losing a few million so people can enjoy music for free. It's not bad enough that they control everything we hear, but now they're taking away our way of hearing everything they don't want us to.

I think that's a little too narrowminded. We'll talk again if you have to make money with your music.
I also disgust some record company policies, and stars who don't deserve those disgusting amounts of money. But when I hear several great Belgian bands who have to work really hard, earning shit I think I have to pay for their music in order to show my respect. People had to work hard on that music and I think we should pay respect to real musicians and buy their Cd's!

I'm jonesin' for some audio downloads. Do you guys have any clue what site will be the next Audiogalaxy? I know it's out there waiting to be exploited, I just don't know where it is.
Any tips...Is Grokster for real?

When you guys make it rich and famous, I will start a website that gives away your music for free...
Yeah, then you'll be screaming bloody murder..... Then it will be "Those fucking theiving little bastards downloading my music for free"......
Make sure you think on both sides of the fence...
I like MP3's... I wanted to hear a song, just to see what the drums sounded like, and I couldn't find it anywhere on the net, and out of massive curiosity, I was forced to buy the album.... Well it sucks, and I won't name the band... ok POD...
So, In this sort of situation, I have wasted money, (yes my fault) but it would have been nice to download the song for free....
Some of you guys sit there and bitch like these record companies owe you all something.
Good luck collecting!
They don't owe you shit!... Take what you can get, but don't expect anything. It's business.

This might be entertaining.
I know I already posted this in another forum, but I couldn't figure out how to put the link here. If anyone could also help me with that I would appreciate it.
Found this on another site.

Music bosses have unveiled a revolutionary new recording format that they
hope will help win the war on illegal file sharing which is thought to be
costing the industry millions of dollars in lost revenue.
Nicknamed the 'Record', the new format takes the form of a black, vinyl disc
measuring 12 inches in diameter, which must be played on a specially
designed 'turntable'.
"We can state with absolute certainty that no computer in the world can
access the data on this disc," said spokesman Brett Campbell. "We are also
confident that no-one is going to be able to produce pirate copies in this
format without going to a heck of a lot of trouble. This is without doubt
the best anti-piracy invention the music industry has ever seen."
As part of the invention's rigorous testing process, the designers gave some
discs to a group of teenage computer experts who regularly use file swapping
software such as Limewire and gnutella and who admit to pirating music CDs.
Despite several days of trying, none of them were able to hack into the
disc's code or access any of the music files contained within it.
"It's like, really big and stuff," said Doug Flamboise, one of the testers.
"I couldn't get it into any of my drives. I mean, what format is it? Is it,
like, from France or something?"
In the new format, raw audio data in the form of music is encoded by
physically etching grooves onto the vinyl disc. The sound is thus translated
into variations on the disc's surface in a process that industry insiders
are describing as 'completely revolutionary' and 'stunningly clever.'
To decode the data stored on the disc, the listener must use a special
player which contains a 'needle' that runs along the grooves on the record
surface, reading the indentations and transforming the movements back into
audio that can be fed through loudspeakers.
Even Shawn Fanning, the man who invented Napster, admits the new
format will make file swapping much more difficult. "I've never seen
anything like this," he told reporters. "How does it work?"
As rumors that a Taiwanese company has been secretly developing a 12
inch wide, turntable-driven, needle-based, firewire drive remain
unconfirmed, it would appear that the music industry may, at last, have
found the pirate-proof format it has long been searching for.
