of course RIAA is going to cry that this is yet another example that piracy is killing their industry but the real answer is that this is yet another study to prove RIAA needs to change their freakin business model already. I can't even remember the last time i bought a CD. it might have been linkin park's "hybrid theory". I jsut cut to the chase since the mp3's will be going on my ipod, gf's ipod, burnt to a cd for my car, her car and at the house. Buying a CD just adds a whole element that i find unnecessary now.
until i get lossless downloads i'm not paying for digital downloads. they aren't an equal product to a cd. and when will we get a 24bit 192khz portable format. seriously.
Last CD I bought was in year 2003 in Walmart and I still can't get over it.I became part of each and every song on this CD.I would gladly do that somewhere in studio for money of course but just like that in my own residence without even asking to become a "star".No,no,and one more time no! Who would even allow this people to do this?
We friends were talking that day and someone said that in a couple of years there will be barely any people who'll go out and actually buy music Cds(made sense to me).The only people who will still continue to goto the stores will be people who don't use the computer or have a thing for collecting recordsHail Digital!

"The fuss is about supporting the RIAA. The artists make next to nothing on it." So what it's not like artists have enough money as it is.

Only time I'll ever start buying cd's again is if they are less than $8. Between the Buried and Me FTW.
