Thus, just to give the anal little fukcs something to bitch about, I will always side with MP3 until MP3 snobs begin to exist and outnumber the vinyl snobs.

2.) MP3 has made piracy easy. Piracy has given the industry, and numerous piss poor artists, an immeasurable excuse that sales are hurting because of pirated MP3s, and not a crappy selection of boring and predictable music. I love the techno has-beens of the past too much to let them know that a good reason why a number of their albums don't sell as hot is because they don't sound any different than they did 10 years ago. But, that's only the reason when they don't suck because they sound different than they did 10 years ago. Either way, yeah, it's MP3's fault and, therefore, saves some egos.

3.) Expanding on number 2, I can burn MP3s to CD, or use some digital DJ format, to play music at clubs. I enjoy doing this because it's amusing to see the artists bitch about people playing pirated versions of their songs which they spent days working on and properly EQing all the uncleared samples within the songs themselves. Pimpin' aint easy.

are you serious, even if the whole techno scene went to legal downloadable mp3's instead of vinyl, you'd still get people stealing music for free, just because they can.
yes, some of the blame in poor sales can be attributed to poor music, and an influx of people releasing poor music, just because theythink having loads of software on their pcs and this makes them a producer :lol:

but theres also alot of people stealing music they love, just because its so easy and cheaper for them.
so you will still get this no matter what you do
