Getting cheap music

[ben_j_davis]

I have always paid to get music from my favourite artists. However for a long time I have felt along with many other people that the cost of a CD is extortionate.

What are the choices?

1. P2P - Loads of music, no restrictions and good quality sound files (if you look hard enough) But illegal. Your favourite Artist gets no money.

2. Napster, iTunes - Very low quality sound files, with DRM and other restrictions , plus the price is still too high. Legal

3. Pay full price for a CD, Artist gets very little, plus you get ripped off. Legal

I just wish music companies could sell cheap, high quality music without DRM or restrictions. Surely they would make more money, put an end to most piracy and actually create some good PR?

Think we are just going to have to wait till something is sorted out. I fill like a criminal just for wanting good quality music.

From what i can tell allof(u know what) still seems to be a bit of a legal grey area. Technically you can dowload/import one track, but only one copy is allowed and this can only be used for personal use. The RIAA hasn't said much about this site but they haven't approved anything, which means they are up to something.
