DISQUS

i downloaded the blue scholars album Bayani before purchasing it. After listening to the download i bought the album as soon as it was available. I even bought a 2nd copy for a friend of mine. My copy just sits around because I use mp3s everywhere I go. :)

Well said. There's so much more music consumption going on, it's crazy... and it's awesome that people are sharing and discovering so much new music. We're all participating in the ultimate mix-tape that never ends. Well, until the next big shift in how we interact with music.

The labels don't control the relationship anymore and they just can't seems to get over that loss and move on. Every move they make is a laughable mistake, ie: suing the very people who want their product now more than ever and oh, let's talk about recent launch of "the ringle"... so bad.

They should be thanking the file sharers instead of hating them.

As much as I disagree with the Record Industry and how they conduct their business, I found that over the last 2 years I've spent much more money on music as compared to the previous 4 years. For me, it is the vast amount of exposure I receive from from file sharing that has literally created a micro-network composed of like-minded music lovers and a knowledge data base that just could not have been assembled under any other circumstances.
