I dont know that I'd spend any more money on file sharing than I already do. I pay for a high bandwidth connection to the internet. I paid for limewire pro and am now using Aqualime (lmao), I've bought bigger hard drives to acoomodate all the stuff I share ...

As I look at filesharing, its a try before you buy sort of appeal. I think the artist needs to make money, I think the record lable needs to be reimbursed for expenses, and make some money too ... however, 15-17 bucks for a cd that costs less than .50 cents to produce is insane. There's profit and then there's insane profit.

But like Mr. Unregistered, I've bought at least 1000 cd's since I was in school ... but I've ripped them and share them ... and I suggest that Mr. Unregistered do the same.
