Nice attitude. I hope that you don't get paid for working when you grow up. Why don't you move to Russia. |

Pay for low quality 128Kbps MP3 music? Good deal? You must be kidding! You would have to be a fool to spend any money for music when you get get it for free elsewhere. |

I've been using emusic for two months now.... past the free month and into the $9.95 month. AND IT'S GREAT. Lots of music simply unavailable anywhere else. Especially old stuff from vinyl that was never released on CD (or only released for a short time). Much of the goodies I've found aren't on Napster (simply because they are relatively rare), so emusic is the only practical weay to get them. Great Site! |

Nice attitude. Grow up, will you. Nothing is for free. 128kbps MP3s are fine with most of the people, and audiophiles are never pleased anyway. Or do you still use vinyls, which offer superior quality over any present format.
Artists should get paid for their work. A completely different story is if artists are paid enough... record companies have to much power, in my opinion.
I use the net to check out new music. If I like it, I'll buy it. I think it's a fair deal. |

I know that. But there will always be around anything those assholes at the RIAA do. |
