Of course they get my back up, I hate it when people decide to form fake organizations to speak for me, especially when they are hypocritical in the process.
He's bloody right though.

Although he doesnt know how.. (excuse me mate.. ill explain)

The hypocracy comes not from the music they will have undoubtdly downloaded themselves, but from the software, sample CDs, ripped lyrics, ripped kicks/snares/hats they have sampled.

So where is the line drawn? At their wallets? At the law itself? It appears drawn for their wallets.

I know lots of producers that have sample CDs they dont actually own, who use illegal copies of software and write and sell music on them.

I include myself in this. So who the hell are we to moan about MP3s? I've yet to meet ANYONE who used only legal software alone... no warez of any kind. Some of you might have legal now, but it wasnt always that way was it? (im making assumptions here...i know, but im willing to bet)

In fact the difference between stealing an album and stealing a program say like soundforge is MASSIVE. an album.. you are taking away 9.99 from the industry (79p from the artist of course) soundforge is 399 quid. Work it out....

Im trying to go legal, but its not easy, its not cheap, but i feel better for it.
