I'd pay a tenner for a CD. I download songs all the time and occasionally I find a new one that I like, so I order the CD. I must have ordered about 6 or 7 by now just because of Napster. (I just switch to Gnotella because of that inconceivably stupid ruling).
I'm not happy that £9.50 goes to people other than the artists though. I rather think the artists should make the £9.50 and the publishers make 50p. I believe that this is really going to change now there is essentially no copy control. I buy music on CD even though I have mp3s because of a) the quality b) the fact I actually own a tangible thing which has a box etc.
I mean, a stamp collection ain't a stamp collection if it's just jpegs, is it? |
