Urban Hat€monger ?

I don`t really see how it can be considered stealing anyway.

I`ve bought about 30 albums this year so far & downloaded around 200. Of the 200 i`ve downloaded it`s because I want to hear what they`re like.There`s no way I would have bought them anyway.If I was never going to give those bands money in the first place then they`re not losing out by me hearing their stuff for free.

Also i`ve been listening to a lot of stuff by Hawkwind & The Fall. Both those bands are in the middle of having their albums re-released with remastering & bonus tracks of which i`m buying as they are released.

Why would I go out and buy their stuff now that hasn`t been re-mastered yet when I know in a year or so i`ll have to buy the same album again to get what I wanted in the first place? Why wait all that time to hear an album I really want when I can get the standard albums for nothing now and pay for the special editions later?
