Even if you do take yourself off to town you have to pay a tenner or more for one or two good songs and a lot of filler.

If I want music from a new band I'll always pay for it (or just listen on the radio, I usually get bored before it drops off th playlists), if I want an old band I'll either torrent it (if they're all dead) or buy it for about £1 on eBay.
The best way I do it when I'm on my work laptop and don't want to be downloading torrents is YouTube converter

Slower.. but it works! And easily multitaskable.

Depends on the music, I don't like the quality of YouTube, too low for a decent stereo system. One of these days I'll actually buy a decent stereo and if I don't plan ahead I'll regret it.



But then nothing sounds quite as good as vinyl anyway.

what's wrong with simply paying for the content that you want?

why bother with stopping at the checkout in Asda then, just help yourself. It's theft.

When you take something from Asda it doesn't remain on the shelf, if I photograph every item in Asda I don't pay to take my camera home.

I can understand your point.
But who's likely to get caught?

A 13 year old boy downloading a torrent like rest of the thousand people online
or a 13 year old boy wearing a hoodie in ASDA nicking a Justin Bieber album?

Hm..

I either:
pick up my phone, go to itunes, hit the search button, type the artist, find the album, hit download
or
Turn on my tv, hit the top left button then the red button then the blue button and search, hit select, then wait until it says available and watch it.

I honestly dont see the point in doing it the "dodgy" way, but then again the volume at which I do it may be a factor, ie I dont do it much at all if I were still getting an album a week then yeah I'd still be into torrent/p2p etc but it just doenst make sense to me anymore.

:-)

Lets try another, how about you pop into the nearest garden center and just take a few cuttings. Leave the original plant there obviously, just take what you want. Or nip into your nearest cinema with a video camera.

You have a choice not to buy it, taking it without paying is theft.

Would you expect to be able to photocopy a book in Waterstones? No, you browse, then either buy a book or put it back.

I love that, its so highly flawed but the thought process is beautiful :)

You may not remove it from the market by physically taking it but if all items in Asda remain unsold what happens to Asda?
