Yeah I have definitly bought less CDs over the years, but its not because I could DL them or anything, its that the music sucks ass

There are a few must have CDs that I will go out and buy and thats about it.

I also burn CDs so that I dont destroy the original in my car, which I have done before.

The question is how are they going ot track if you rip a CD? Go into my computer through the intraweb and haxor my computer to find any songs? They have already tried to put copyright protection on CDs but those were simply skipped. . .

Yeah, I pretty much stopped buying CDs from them a few years ago when this started. That and the fact you can get a new DVD for a few dollars more. That includes better sound quality, music, and video. Seems like they are marking the CDs up just a wee bit.

Here is what is going to happen,im rubbing my crystal balls right now…

more sites from foreign countries will start popping up that are similar to [allofmp3.com](http://allofmp3.com),they’ll charge under $2 for a full CD or let you buy individual songs for 10 cents each.The battle will be lost either way,same thing will eventually happen with movies.

agreed, I havent purchased a CD (with the exception of maybe 2 or 3) in 4-5 years. Most new music blows… or atleast not worth spending 20.00 on

edit: and I’d really like to see them try and stop people from ripping cd’s… never gonna happen

edit2: and I agree, FUCK metallica
