Do you share your Underworld mp3s?

I only share non-album tracks, recordings of new tracks/unfinished tracks from the radio shows and that's it.

I only share needles and condoms.

I've purchased a lot of Underworld, including all of their albums and a dozen or so of their EPs and single releases. I've also ripped all of these CDs to my computer and actively share my music library to anyone else on my local area network (which is everyone in my apartment complex).

I like to pretend that one day someone might stumble across an Underworld track in my library and go "this is f-in' brilliant!" and become a fan That's really what makes me feel okay about sharing my library.

nope. just live mp3s and a few random tracks like dogman or jamscraper

Interesting responses. There is the aspect that sharing your recordings will lead people into buying more but then if you share everything (at high bitrates?) then aren't they just gonna download everything? I can see the point of giving copies to your friends because you want them to enjoy it. But what do you give them?

The legality of it for me is not the question. I guess it is how deeply I feel for a particular artist, how much they have given me musically and what that has meant to me, and basically how much I respect an artist.

Of course, just because I've bought all the CDs doesnt mean I am allowed to share them all over my favourite P2P apps but I was just trying to ascertain whether its crossed Dirt's minds feelings of guilt, respect, legality or actually crossed their minds at all.

If you want to share Underworld, why share the stuff thats available in the shops, for instance? I can see Leon's point of view in this respect. If you want to get people interested in Underworld you don't need to give them commercially available stuff (is maybe his point, i dont know).

just rambling thoughts here.

umm, because that's their best stuff

I only share non-released live stuff. And altho I have used the likes of slsk in the past, I don't any more, on a point of principle as much as anything else. I guess I am a dino like Lloyd and old habits die hard, in that I tend to buy stuff I really want as soon as it is released, and wait for other stuff to be in the bargain bucket.

I share Underworld mp3s on CD. I give mp3s to friends on CDs or a DVD data disc. Often I give the 1992-2000 album, along with a whole host of other artists stuff. I return I get a DVD-rom of their taste in music.
