torrents keeping music alive (sensible descusssion please)

[tombruton69]

I think there does need to be a legal channel for high quality digital music. I complain cuz im running out of room to store vinyl. There is money to be made there aswell, hence the sucsess of beatport. you can get 90% of the music on there cheaper on Iruinmusic (sorry typo Itunes) but ppl still choose the better option.

@photojojo's comment it really isnt avaliable. Ive just had to buy all of 2 kings in a cypther's music as I cannot find it online at all, and relativly speaking they where fairly big. I think there needs to be a legal channel for people to be able to use.

Going off topic slightly there is a big legal battle over selling second hand digital music, as the record companies pushed for it to be defined as a tangable product, just like you can sell ur old cd's should you be able to sell ur old mp3's? I think the record companies are destroying themselfs as people can more and more easily self promote. The day the big record companies die will be a great day for music

I would imagine finding music on vinyl would be hard, especially classic hits. They aren't cheap either. 12.00 each, man.

And since it looks like we've got a trend of brand new members coming here to post in this thread it looks like I'll be swinging the ban hammer without my usual sense of fairness soon enough.

that aint expensive a ronettes album cost me over 100 quid so thats about 140 dollars. there are records far more expensive than that. its the big hits that are real cheap. the most expensive ones are mainly groups that had a few flops then a hit.

back to th title of this thread. I honestly think torrent communities are leading the way in high quality varied music downloads. Do I agree with it no but it doesnt take away from the fact that its true. So sombody needs to come up with a solution or do record companies not care about these other acts and old music. Is it not finically viable to do it.
