Home Music Video's, = HMV, it's a major music shop like Music Zone or Our Price (god do you even remember Our Price lol discount music right at ur feet hehe).

It's like the Game Station for Music, DvDs and Videos!

no i dont remember it, i've been too busy downloading music for free....dont need to go there anymore!!

[naz_nomad]

Every track I have downloaded over the last 'several' years was for evaluation purposes only ... If I eventually find a whole album that I like, with no duff tracks on it, then I'll buy it.












p.s. (Satan will be skiing to work that day)

dl'ing music illegally for free is wrong....of course it is but many of us do it.
personally i cant afford to buy new music so wouldnt purchase the album anyway so if i dl it for free I gain a new album to listen to and the music companies have lost no money as they wouldnt have had it in the 1st place - its a win win situation!!!!

the basic fact here is that illegal donwloading is here to stay,after all it is just the 21st century equivalent of taping a mates album.what needs to happen is a reduction in the pricing of legal downloads.to dl an album from many online stores would cost me �9..i can buy the cd for that and would also get a case,a disc & a booklet.

microsoft will be turning the music dl scene on its head in the next year or so when they enter the mp3 market with their ipod rivalling 'zune'.along with zune they will be releasing a website where for a 1 off yearly fee you get as much content as you like and being microsoft im guessing it will be good stuff and not 2nd rate.then with apple having a major rival the price war will commence and there will be a drastic drop in illegal downloading.

almusic - people should make music because they are passionate about it, not because they are looking to earn millions. Even if totally no-one paid for a CD they would still all be millionaires from touring, merchandise and advertising. When it costs over 50 quid a head to see someone like Robbie Williams or whoever then people really dont feel too badly about not paying for tracks.

[ummmm]

Random Hero. How do you send albums over msn????

[roobarb22@ho]

have people not learned by now that extra exposure through free downloads can only be a good thing
theres a better chance that you will buy tickets ,merchandise future releases ...
its all about the exposure
btw hmv stands for his masters voice

I got caught nicking a packet of football stickers when i was 7 cause my cheap ass dad didnt know the meaning of getting a siver badge sticker in a packet and wouldnt give me more money to get more stickers and get my kicks- and he found out about it due to the fact i had more stickers than i should of had for the money he gave me...
Him being a copper he didnt take this well and kicked me about like two icelandic fellas that aint seen a seal or a meal in 3 months...
Needless to say i still steal but only music as it is the fruit of life and you think limewire is good check soulseek out you can get not just the general music of today but most djs use this site and put all there promos on there which makes it even better for people like myself that cant get them in time...
I think what you have done by asking this question has only made it worse cause now ive just typed up another great site for taking music for free and that only expands more music downloads for free and my friend above is right if they are good enough they all make enough money from the industry anyway, so put your donkey away and get off it cause you aint john wayne....
But let me say this i still buy the music on vinyl as thats how i like to have it if its available but if it aint i download it and come on you must have some sense its free.
Do you think the arctic monkeys are sat in arctic temperatures cause the likes of us are nicking the odd track.
No they aint they are eating pizza or pussy on some tour bus travelling the world and filling there sandles with cash even though we nick the tune..
If nobody did then they would have more money stick it up there noses give none to charity.
So we are saving them from drug problems and a life less ordinary...
Nuff Said....

sooo...
we're actually helping the artists by downloading for free?
The only people we're hurting are some South American drug barons?

I urge each and every one of you to steal, steal, steal.
