Ugh. I was hoping this guy from warp to be cool. He's really not. He attacks bootleg mp3s viciously. Cripes, it's like tape trading only easier. I've had several people tell me they've become tricky addicts like myself after downloading mp3s from my sight. I used that aphex twin mp3 site extensively to get shit that i wouldn't have otherwise...The two missing SAWII tracks, Pac-Man, Remixes, Odd singles. All stuff that i would have never bought because i usually can't justify spending that much money on small things. I still bought all his US releases. Now, if i see this stuff for sale somewhere, i'm more likely to buy it cos i know how good it is. I never passed on a purchase because i could just d/l the mp3. No one was hurt and i got so much closer to being an RDJ completist. That's my story and i'm sticking to it. A quote from Greg Eden (from warp): "It should be made clear that downloading pirated MP3s is theft. These people wouldn't walk into someone's house and steal a television, or walk into a record shop and steal a few CDs but they don't bat an eyelid when it comes to downloading illegal MP3s, which in the end amounts to the same thing." >MP3 Gets Warped >This week Banddb spoke exclusively to UK independent label Warp Records >about their plans for MP3. >http://www.banddb.com/ _________________________________ Adam Roesch / xxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx Augsburg College / Minneapolis / MN / USA http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/ The world's most complete Pork Recordings/Fila Brazillia site: http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/pork/ "The only disease we need in our blood is love" TRICKY
