<< Are We All Destined To Lose Our Jobs To Machines? | Kids Say The Darndest Things... About File Sharing >>
Well, I'm sure the music industry will simply ignore this report (or deny that it's true), but yet another study has come out showing that (well, duh!) music downloaders are the biggest music fans and are as likely as anyone else to buy the music they find. The study also found that it's not just teenagers downloading tunes, but people of all age ranges.

not me... not any more..
...and defintely not after the RIAA's most recent witch hunts.
Now it's purely about damaging a moronic industry that's completely lost touch with reality.

Re: not me... not any more..
Not anymore, I used to spend 100+ dollars a month on CDs when I could sample what I was about to buy. I am now boycotting and not buy any more CDs, I am sticking to concerts. RIAA is doing more harm to the music industry than it can imagine.
I also destroyed all of my metallica CDs because honestly after the first 3 they really sucked and I can understand why they don't want people to hear other songs on the later albums, that is because they only have 1 good song per album and people won't buy their crap once they hear it.
This is also true for many 1-hit-wonders that rely of decption to sell albums.

No Subject Given
Great now RIAA will simply sue anybody that buys music.
