no I'm not 11, the reason i never buy cd's is because it's too expensive (20€ per cd ) usually i download or get piracy cd's and yes I am Christian(catholic) and my father is politician so he thinks I'm ruining his reputation with my appearance (especially after I got arrested ).
1. You're a hyprocrite. How can a self-professed christian blatantly steal music and act like they are doing anything is insanely stupid.
2. You're stealing music and doing nothing to suport the artists who make the music, that's fucked up.
3. I am not innocent, I download a lot of albums, but also have bought over 800 albums in about 5 years and contribute as much money as possible to supporting deserving musicians. My philosophy as of late is download and listen, delete anything mediocre downloaded and buy the albums if there is enough material to support. (No I won't buy a CD because I enjoy 2 songs off an album, I'll definitely buy if I enjoy the majority of it. A lot of bands I automatically buy thier material without hearing it because I have so much faith in thier abilities. I do my best to order CD's from stores rather than buying stuff that is in stock. Buying a cd that is already in the store does no good, it has already been soundscanned, sold and contributed to the band. There's little chance of it getting re-ordered if it is not fairly popular. Ordering a CD means you directly contribute to the album's sales. Sometimes I offset downloading out of print albums by purchasing multiple copies of an artists in-print material. (For example, I ordered an extra copy of VD's Stream of consciousness to make up for NOT being able to buy the S/T or SMAA.)
Rant over.
Who said I'm good Christian..., you're right it's true and sometimes I feel bad about it (and think about buying cd) ,but than again it's 20€ ;it's a fucking ripoff (In Austria cd costs 5-10€ and that's ok price)
