mp3's are good for the industry

[DeadlyDan]

if napster never came along i personally would have never bought any of my cd's, i was musically dumb due the fact i didn't have money to buy a cd and "hope" it's good.

But with mp3's sharing i was able experiment into seeing what music i liked, and now i am a huge consumer due to the fact of napster and "K" sharing program.


also file sharing isn't horrible, if it was then why in then why has sales records gone through the roff since napster?

the largest grossing album of all time, was broken twice since file sharing began, by nsync and backstree boys or something.

And artists, are selling more records then ever.

In Canada,U.S and most of Europe file sharing is good for the market.

If it wasn't for file sharing i would never have bought the cd's i have.


also, in poorer countries,like mexico, it's not the mp3's are rampant,(you need a computer for that) it's the burnt cd's being sold for 2 dollars each.

though if you only make 20 dollars a week, are u going to buy a new slinky world cd for 40 dollars? probably not.


anyway, thats my .02

hmm, im afraid that your poll, grossly misrepresents the whole issue, its not just a clear cut issue, that "ok yes they are good for blah blah blah" or "they are bad blah blah blah"

if you look at many artists opinons bout it, they say roughly lines of

"yeah mp3's are good for promotion, and part in due got me where i am 2day, but on the other hand they deprive an artist of one of his sole incomes, and in part must have a more regulated way of thing going round it"

or sum variation, along the lines of that, its not clearcut, and at most there answers kinda make that point

i write that when i was sloshed, in fact i'm still sloshed.


and i havn't got sleep.
