my thoughts on the releases

[BeautifulBurnout]

I wasn't for a minute casting aspersions on people who download music. That's a personal choice too.

And very true - as a medium it is a pirate's dream (me hearties ). But wasnt the same true of the first cassette recorders? Jeez, when I was a teenager my saturday job money would pay for an album a week and a few cokes at the Youth Club disco if I was lucky. So everyone taped everyone elses records, and the ones we really really loved we bought with our hard-earned slave-wage cash.

In that respect I don't think much has changed other than the wider availability through P2P applications. In other words, you don't need to ask all your classmates who has got the album now. But other than that, nothing much has changed in my view.
