No, I think you're missing the point. There are very few people who want to get rid of CDs. Nobody is "never" going to purchase a CD. If CDs were cheaper, more in line with their cost, people would buy them. You can't take an assymetrical hypothetical like never buying CDs, extrapolate it and call it a viable argument. yes i did overexagerate my point but i still don't think that the best way for the consumer to prove that cd prices are too high is by downloading them off the internet. i'm not opposed to people who download their music, i am just upset with the people that think it is ok to not pay any money and only download their favourite songs. i actually have no problem if somebody downloads 50 cents latest album, but i do have a problem with somebody who downloads interpol's album.

fuck off slut thread

i taped it! it was soo good. i can mail you the tape if you want. i won't be home for a few weeks but i can mail it to you as long as you promise to mail it back to me :)

so did i! :D

i was in the old curriculum so we didn't have that stuff, enjoy grade 10 because its easy!

wtf how does the media lie? can you go into further detail for me please of course the media lies!! the media sensationalizes everything. why do you think the top story is always about a murder or rape or something and not about a little girl doing something positive in her community? because not as many people find that interesting and they won't get as many viewers. in the past 10 years violent crimes in the US has declined by about 10% whereas media reporting on violent crimes has increased by about 400%

they might not know about the new members forum

well obviously, but my point is if everyone stops buying music owning a real cd is going to go into museums and can be a story we will tell our grandchildren. i think of it as an artform, been passed from owning cds to owning casettes to owning vinyl records. it will be such a shame if it disappears. yes i will agree that cds can be expensive, but i would imagine it was not much different comparitavely from let's say the 1970s with vinyl records.

You people are missing the point, if you always download music and never purchase it there will be no reason for CDs to be made. There are some musicians that are very wealthy and have more money than they know what to do with, but there are still smaller indie bands that need people to buy their albums to get more popular. BUY CDs. Don't you like holding a real CD opposed to a burned one? Don't you like reading a CD booklet and looking for lyrics and pictures and all that? It's a dying art form and I will be so sad if it goes extinct!

do you have civics or whatever that course is called?

how's grade 10 treating ya?

i fucking rule thread

welcome :D

i want to join the radio club

best of those you bought

have fun, i won't be there :cry:

i'm so happy all these people know the stills and i will send you the cd when it comes out ginger

i know this thread is old, but the girl who hosted the I&I was a complete moron and is not representative of the media as a whole. there are still some members of the media that are smart and have valid opinions.

i refuse to buy songs online, i have and always will purchase real cds. if everyone stops then the format will disappear completely. if there are no more cds things like cd booklets will disappear, having a cd booklet is part of the fun of buying a cd. i hope not many people follow what you do, i hope compact discs aren't a thing of the past.

i only know kid a from that list and i'm sure its the best of those :D

you saw the wedge with interpol hosting?

happy birthday!

i'd like to go but i'm not going to be in toronto or any of the other cities where they are showing it

once again i can't spell it's coldplay not coldplat
