I hear ya.
All the mp3s I use, are from my music collection of purchased cds and lps. (Am I dating myself?)
Plus I like the inserts. I really miss the lps with the great posters and books.
Can't say the same about my kids though. But I warned them that if they keep it up, artists may quit doing concerts. And that would be a crying shame.

This is a touchy topic and I am not trying to start a debate and I am not rebutting Jennifer's point at all. I am just making a side statement that a lot of the artists are neutral on music piracy because they think it will get their music to more people, reulting in them getting a better turnout at their live shows!
Either way, piracy is technically wrong... and against the law. I am not making a statement for either side of the argument and I am aiming to remain neutral. I was just stating some other facts as well.
Now, for startup artists and bands trying to start off on the right foot (somewhere in-between), piracy can be devastating.
Either way, these comments were not meant to spark an argument or anything along those lines... and I also agree with Jennifer's original statements, etc.

Nor was I asking someone to post anything that is or would be illegal. That was not my intention, I do not believe that is a topic to be discussed on this forum or CB's website, as someone previously stated. I am new to CB and BB's in general, didn't think this post would turn into a big discussion on piracy.Well, there are differences. For instance when someone "donates" a ringtone and chooses to allow free download that's their option. Regardless, it doesn't really matter. There are ways around everything and what you do is up to you, not for anyone else to tell you whether its right, wrong or indifferent.
Here's the only thing worth mentioning: Asking for other CB members to post links that are potentially not legal is frowned upon in the forums because it can get CB in trouble. Aside from that, I'm sure if you did some searching you could find what you were looking for.
Good Luck.
