What is the return policy? Are MP3's safe? Apparently not according this article. Joined: Sep 4, Posts: TNT , Dec 4, And what about files with an extension MP3, that don't contain a MP3? It's not about MP3 or not MP3. It's about how safe downloading is using P2P softwares. Show Ignored Content. Your username or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now.

I dont steal cars but I would never buy a car if the manufacturer could dictate to me who used it or who I could sell or give it to. I think the issue is we are not happy but we don't have a plan. We need to as consumers make it known to the RIAA that we will not only boycott but send letters to the artist and or companies that support the unsavory tactics that they use.
We need to pick particular days and not buy music from artist who are part of this process of abusing consumers and send e mails and tell them that we would have purchased your CD but I am not feeling warm and fuzzy about the music industry trying to big brother me. So if anyone knows of an organized boycott and response let me know if not lets talk about putting one together.
Todd , 5 May am. Lets see if we can get AOL users to do the same! Jim , 5 May pm. I am simply concerned about musicians and composers getting ripped off. If file sharing has a legitimate use beyond music piracy, wonderful. All of you who download music without paying however, should either get a job or borrow some money from your mommies and go to your local music store!!!! I am not defending the record companies or music biz execs in any way, but musicians and composers deserve to get paid for what they own.
If the argument is to leave file sharing software alone, because of it's legitimacy how do we keep music from being stolen?
Mike profile , 5 May pm. Right, so the way for them to get paid is to come up with a better business model, such as the one I outlined above.
Again, read the business model I pointed out above. Then people get to hear more music, and the good musicians still get paid. And nothing gets "stolen". Artist , 5 May pm. How does a songwriter get paid from merchandise? How does a singer with a young child who wishes to limit her touring support the child if she can only get paid by touring?
And please don't say they could always pursue different professions, because then we all lose by not getting to hear their art. And we all lose out if an artist can paint something great but can't get paid for it Some people can make money doing things, others can't.
As for songwriters, that's easy. They should be paid-for-hire jobs. If someone wants them to write a song, pay them to write it. Most people work that way. The point is the business models are changing. Perhaps you don't understand the concept of royalties and residual income. It doesn't matter that "most" people work in pay-for-hire jobs. There are copyright and publishing laws put in place to protect certain types of work. What is so threatening to you that some people build "widgets" and continue to make residual income?
Is it because you live in a career where that's not possible and you're jealous? Just pay for your music. No, I understand the concept very much. My point, as I've stated repeatedly, is that the market for such things is going away.
That's simply what's happening. You can pretend it's not or focus on laws that try to pretend it's not I do pay for my music. I've never downloaded a song illegally in my life. I have a large CD collection and I continue to buy CDs all the time though, from independent artists.
I'm not "threatend" at all. If people want to try to continue making money that way, they certainly should go ahead and do so. All I'm pointing out is that the market is clearly telling them it won't be possible for long. As for my career? Are you crazy? I work in an industry where most of our competitor DO use that model.
It's absolutely possible for us, but we're aware enough how the market is changing that we're leading the charge with a different business model -- and we're doing damn well with it. Better than our competitors who are shutting down and laying off people So, I'll try it again slowly: I'm not saying that the musicians have to do this. I'm just saying if they stay the course, there's not going to be any market for them.
It's a total win-win situation. There's no loss involved. Why are you so threatened by it? There is nothing new about your business model. Musicians have been doing those things from the beginning of the recording industry, although I can see a need for artists to market recorded music more creatively to the consumer bypassing the record industry machine.
What do you do for a living? Can I use your service without paying Or walk into your store and take something off the shelf and leave? The music "is" the product. Yes, there is something new about the business model. Also, I just gave you a quick version, but there's many more things they can do well beyond what is done today. For example, there's one band that has started its own travel agency to help fans travel with the band around the country. I'm not saying every band should do that, but it does show that bands are learning how to be creative in their business models.
You read Techdirt every day for free, don't you? We've figured out a business model that lets you do so. So, yup, you can use our product without paying. If you want us to create special content for you -- then you pay for us to create that content, nothing more.
It's just like any other work-for-hire job. Companies pay us to create content, but we don't put limitations on what they do with it and we certainly don't demand a piece of the profits from what they do with that content. So, yeah, don't try to tell use we don't live by the same rules we spout. We do every day, and we're damn successful at it. Finally, no matter how many times people insist that copying a digital file is the same as "taking something off the shelf and leaving" it's not.
Even the Supreme Court has said so. I still have the digital item. That's the point. The marginal cost for a new version is zero That's basic economics. You can ignore it if you want, but economics has a way of winning. Yup, just as the makers of buggy whips had that as their product once also. The point is that any reasonable person looks at the economics and the trends and recognizes that the market for music alone as a product disappears. But that's not a problem because there are a TON of other business models Truly great musicians don't have time to start their own travel agency..
This is a tired and stupid argument Wow, did you seriously misunderstand my comment that much? I even spelled it out for you. I wasn't saying everyone needs to start a travel agency. However, I was just pointing out there are plenty of business models that the music can help sell. And, I'm not saying the musicians themselves are the travel agents, but that something like the travel agency makes enough money that it's worth it to have the musicians doing music FULL TIME.
This isn't that complicated. Fred , 17 Jun pm. My biggest qualm about the whole illegal download issue is the fact that recording artists are setting records every year for sales.
The artists and companies who sign them are not hurt in the slightest. Sales show constant growth through the internet era which proves there is no issue. When an artist has to buy 5 cars instead of 6 because of a drop in sales, well then there might be a problem! But even then, I think they will get by…. Brandon , 6 May am. Ok, if in your heart of hearts, you can pass this test, then you are free to come down on any one who shares music.
Suppose you buy a CD at BestBuy. You then go home, and burn it to your own computer solely for convience reasons. Now, the original ends up in your car an you are listening to it on the way to work. Suppose your wife turns on the computer and is in the mood to listen to the same CD. Or if a friend borrows a physical CD, you first say "sure, just let me delete it from my ipod first, then you are welcome to it". Sue the internet providers and the web hosts!
