idle counting
Jan. 20th, 2003 04:22 pmhey record companies! i own an even 100 albums of new material that have been released since the start of the year 2000. of those, only 9 are homemade cds, burned either from downloaded material or discs borrowed from friends. i would think that demonstates that at least i, personally, am not directly contributing to your downfall through my rampant downloading of songs. i mean, how many more cds to you want me to buy? do i have to pick up EVERYONE's slack?
for the record, the bootleg cds are:
•coldplay, parachutes (borrowed from my sister)
•eminem, the eminem show (dale burned me a copy)
•norah jones, come away with me (christy burned me a copy)
•stevie nicks, trouble in shangri-la (downloaded at excruciatingly slow dial-up speed back in chicago)
•nsync, celebrity (downloaded, with varying degrees of quality, and apparently a couple of european bonus tracks)
•beth orton, daybreaker (borrowed from jessie)
•tenacious d (segev bought it for his sister for her birthday and then burned himself a copy. he's such a prince)
•weezer, maladroit (downloaded)
•wilco, yankee hotel foxtrot (downloaded)
i am actually considering buying real copies of both the beth orton and wilco cds, even though i already have them burned, just to have better quality and to give a vote of confidence to musicians that i think get shafted by the majors. the rest of them, i probably wouldn't have bought, ever. well, maybe the coldplay.
