Dinah , I'm with you on this one.

I clearly remember when I signed up for this list
to tell you I was the first who had the weathered-album, (it was released in
europe earlier than in the US), and gave my little description of the songs, you
all thanked me very much, telling it wasn't necessary because most of you
already had heard all of the songs because they were downloadable from the
internet.
except keith of course, because he probably
destroyed his mop album because scott sings goddamn on it. of course, burning
cd's and selling them (or giving them away) is illegal, but then, they shouln't
have made them that bloody expensive. Here in holland a cd costs about 20
dollars, and I can imagine that some people just not can afford to buy all their
cd's original.
It is also very much the question whether a person
who pays 1 or 2 dollars for a burned cd, thinks that same cd is worth 20
dollars, so that when it could not be burned, he wouldn't have bought it anyway.
Or, he thinks the cd is that good so he will buy the original cd
also.
the way i see it, everybody should be able to
listen to music, even those who can't afford original cd's. and I thought that
that was what rock & roll was all about. If creed and wind-up are really so
upset by people who copy cd's, maybe they should do something about the price of
a cd. Just like they are not making enough money already with almost a
million original cd's sold in one week. I don't think they have that much to
complain about.
If they are not happy enough with the fact
that everybody knows -and is able to listen to- their music, plus they are
making a very good living out of it for themselves, they do
not diserve any money at all.
Thank you.
Daniel.
