1 I will never support money hungry people hiding behind an artist protection rights, music labels and others. 2 I buy cd if I want music. even there is only 2 good songs on cd. but before purchase i analize two things- is a cd copy protected and a price. i will never buy unreasonable priced cds, because the more money cd cost, the more money an artist won't get. I do want to support an artist, but not others, not involved into creative process. 3 i do not download music. i was some time before- mostly from mp3.com, but since it was bought and recreated(made better, which means paid). But it seems there is a reson to exist for such free music website as mp3.com. That's why there is another website, soundclick.com, where are a lot music bands moved from mp3.com. 4 i do not listen any mp3 below 256 kbps. 128 kbps music can be used for preview only, not for everyday listening. i think that was napster, mp3.com or soundclick all about. 5 i do not buy cat in a sack. all these itunes or whatever tries to ignore such rules. in fact you don't know do such "store" has a song you would like to buy. any inventory listings are not available unless you are a member. 6 i will never buy any ipods (especially them) or other media players (minidisc for example), which will tell me how and what i need to listen. all these song autifications check in check out and other misunderstanding. furthermore- I will never buy any mac computers, just because unacceptable busines practice in other - music sector. 7 all entertainment industry changes. i won't be surprised that after some time the same thing what happened to music industry will happen to movie industry and we will end up with for example special - locked dvds. how about autification required dvds? you want to watch a movie, you have to enter special code- you can get it online or by phone. i think it is not far to be true. 8 there is even more- in Europe there is software movement. some companies decided to patent a lot of things what makes free software, openware and anything not commercial fail and became absolete. i believe that behind this there are money hungry people and most likely microsoft. 9 I hope all that is temporary. I will get almost no discomfort or a little of it by following such rules. 10if you really care about consumer rights, artists, freedom, i believe you should join my protest and/or make and follow other rules against money hungry people.
