Would you Pay For Downloading Music

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: Tweaker

Most of what I have been hearing is NO! So I thought I would post this poll here to see how you guys felt.



Posted by: Gerbilo

i put maybe because i might try it out if there was nothing free left. well, that is if it's cheapo



Posted by: Spider

Shit no!



Posted by: Spider

If I was going to pay for music, I'd rather buy the CD so I have a "hard copy."



Posted by: SKYHN

It would have to be the highest quality and fast downloads.



Posted by: Spider

And when you have a disk failure and lose all the files you downloaded?



Posted by: RedTeMpeSt

Right now I wouldn't, but if it came to it and i had to then yeah.

I checked No/Maybe



Posted by: robbybobby69

no way..so far, the smashing pumpkins, foo fighters, and eminem are the only artists that have enough of my respect to get me to buy a CD.

Everybody is a one-hit wonder in one way or another.

There is no way I'd pay to download a crappy, misnamed, bad rip copy of a song. Not to mention paying to download off some luser for 3 hours just to have him cut you off.

If record companies want to put up good, high quality rips (256k bitrate or higher), on a fast, reliable site, then I might think about paying for it.

But as it is now, I end up buying cds of mp3s that I get, so why on earth would I pay twice??



Posted by: Freak

I agree with Spider.

Although right now that doesnt seem as attractive as say a few months ago....Albums out now all have copy protection on them, therefore I cant even PLAY them on my computer, let alone rip them so I can use my CDrom for something else.



Posted by: Bobaroo

Maybe

if it is a cheap monthly charge....$5 a month sounds nice for unlimted downloads



Posted by: Tecil

Considering that 96% of my 23Gigs of Mp3s are legit, I would have to say NO .



Posted by: Null Actor

The RIAA would like to make them all illegal.



Posted by: Tecil

Yeah that's true. Every CD I own is on my PC. But they wouldn't consider that. It's all fair game in this day and age.



Posted by: Null Actor

They also want to make it illegal for anyone other than the purchaser to listen to the music.

Lending your cd to someone is illegal, as is playing it in any place where others can hear it.

I wonder how long until they attempt to patent sound waves.

Why? If it is $5 a month for unlimated downloads that is awesome

I agree with bobaroo330 that would be really good for $5 for as many songs you can download. So it depends on how much it would be

Wat about dling full video games ? .. hehe .. ever done that =)



Posted by: Bishop

Yes, actually.

idsoftware.com sells their old games in downloadable format, and by the gods it sucks.



Posted by: Gunslinger

I also would not, for the same reasoning that Spider provided. If I'm going to pay, even if just a little, or even if just per song, I'd rather front the cash to get a hard copy on a CD. I can still rip tracks for ease of use on the computer anyway.



Posted by: Bishop

the wisdom of gunslinger prevails!



Posted by: Spork Lover

Nope, aimster still works. Napster knock offs rule
