Hey iv been hearing loads of great things about this album flook and was wondering did any one know how i could download if for free cause im too young for credit cards no one will give me a lend of one and also its in none of the music shops here at home
I have loads of trad albums if anyone wants to upload it for me and i will upload you one
C'mon man! Step up, get yourself a Visa Electron or some other debit card or ask your parents for a raise in the weekly allowance to BUY yourself some good albums. You can find great stuff (Flook, for instance) on Amazon.com or cdbaby.com, just to mention a couple of sites.
If you were too young for credit cards, you might have trouble renting that house in Waterford you were looking for.
Do some overtime on your paper round and buy the album.
and by the way WURZEL im a ten year old bum that lives on the street with a laptop that i robbed from an old women .....and also im robbing her wifi connection
I was planning on moving into a new paper box in september with some musicians to keep me company
The recommendation from neddiescotus is alarming, to say the least. Rapidshare seems to be hosting hundreds of commercially available ITM albums in breach of international copyright law. This is sheer piracy!
I've already alerted Flook and will be contacting other musicians whose music is being made available illegally.
MacCruiskeen, I sincerely hope that this is not a lost cause... It is hard to understand why a person can genuinely appreciate another person's work (so it seems) and at the same time prefer to steal it.
That's a really complicated discution...
Because I don't think that only rich people can acceed the culture:( and, i think that lots of persons here have learned a lot listenning cd..
Another thing : look en emule, there are hundreds and hundreds irish albums ...
I think that it won't hurt if artists would offer their music on the internet, either for free (if they give up on selling it) or for a very small fee. And they can do it a few years after the production of the album so that those who are ready to pay the price for a new album can still support the industry with their money. This is partly the case anyway because older albums can be often bought cheaply (second hand etc.).
At any rate I support the right of the artist/producer to decide if they want money for their work; you may think that by doing so they are restricting it to rich people, but this does not entitle you to rob them...
By the way, in many states you will find that public libraries allow you to borrow music. Thus, the state (or whatever) is undertaking to supply culture to the masses which makes sense, because it's their job (and not Flook's).
There is another point worth making here, and that is how people perceive music (and other the arts) when it comes to the product having intrinsic value.
A CD is a solid object, and when we hold one in our hand we can appreciate the fact the musician has written and performed the music, the cover has been printed and this process has incurred a cost and therefore has monetary value.
However, the music on the CD (or mp3 etyc) may well not be perceived in the same way. Although you need a CD to hear the music that actual sound you hear does not have any material value when you listen to it. People connect on an emotional as well as intellectual level with music ('the soul' as was discussed on an earlier thread) and as far as they are concerned the music belongs to them - they cease to recognise music might have a value that goes beyond the cost of the delivery system.
And there lies the rub - how does an artist charge for something people don't recognise as being ownable? If you're skint and hear a piece of music that changes your life, how do you quantify it's commercial worth?
This doesn't excuse rampant piracy, and I support the artists that mean something to me (and a fair few that don't), but the music industry as a whole lost sight of what music means to most people a long time ago, and perhaps that is why people copy music.
