I find myself getting interested in more music groups...and due to the current music downloading subpoenas, my parents don't want me to download any music until it dies down...which could be a while.

You know, I understand that the artists lose money when people download a CD, but the way I look at it is this: I don't download full CDs unless it's a group that I think I'll like, and I just want to hear the CD first. This way, if I don't like the CD, I lost no money. I downloaded Parachutes (By Coldplay) because I liked Trouble and Yellow, but wasn't sure if it was a group I would really love. I then went and bought A Rush Of Blood To The Head because I knew I'd like it. See? Other than that, I don't want to spend 13 dollars when I just want one song. I really like "Why Georgia" by John Mayer, but couldn't care less about his other songs. Frankly, they get on my nerves. In any case, these lawsuits won't really work, because, let's face it, if you were really going to sue everybody who downloaded music, pretty much everybody in the US would be sued.

But, getting back to the original topic, next time I'm at Barnes and Noble (Who carries the harder to find CD's by groups that I like, such as The Stone Roses and The Smiths) I'm buying The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths, and The Ocean Blue by...The Ocean Blue!

Current Mood: Whatever
