Here goes the obvious...
Why pay up to a $ to DL from apple, MSFT, Walmart, etc when you can DL the same song for free from LW. Other than a moral concern I cannot see any other reason.

Thanks, Ken

Somebody offer me an explanation... There must be some benefit to paying

well...you can feel legal...you can have a sense of 'satisfaction' that you have some sort of 'guarantee' as to the kwality of the file...hell, you might even feel some sort of morally religious righteousness....

You will never catch me paying for the same music I have bought on different media. As far as I'm concerned, I already 'paid' for this music in 3 different formats. I only listen to oldies anyway, not the crap top40. I wouldnt give the RIAA 2 cents for the recent crap they put out for music.


The only appeal for paying would be the quality of the music file. For instance, most song files are in 128, CD quality would be 192. and, I would expect if you bought it, it wouldnt have skips, pops or noise in the background.


And, dont think for one minute that the artist are getting a dime from the MP3 you bought. That goes to the RIAA.
