How many musical albums do you illegally download per month?

[Lethe]

Just curious. What?

Oh and if you're that one guy in the world who has the complete torrent of Higher Intelligence Agency - Colourform, please seed it you bastard! Mine has been at 98.6% for like 6 months.

1. none

I don't do that

[Mojambo]

2. None. I only listen to independent music

The RIAA can totally eat me.

I probably download around 30-40 indie albums a month though.

[Lethe]

3. yea i dig

the reason i use torrents so much is because the stuff i'm looking for can't be found in any record store anywhere near me. (or amazon) I mean, most of them are obscure imports that are just impossible to find.

4. Best Buy or, rarely, itunes

[supernova]

5. Haven't for about 4 or 5

years now.

I think most things should be freely passable, but I have no desire to be prosecuted.

6. I've never downloaded an album, legally or illegally.

I buy them! Imagine that!

[Lethe]

7. to answer my own OP:

usually about 10.

[ghostsofgiants]

8. It's not exactly illegal here, but I download quite a bit. Couldn't say how much exactly.

I also buy as much as I can, so this is a preemptive fuck off to anyone who wants to start in with that.

9. I downloaded my first illegal album this week.....

Bruce Springsteen "Magic'. Just could not wait.

I downlaod a ton of music though, but is all live and legal.

[Lethe]

10. is that a new album by him?

i'm out of the loop

[Bennyboy]

12. Yeah. Bruce and The E St Band.

Due out oct 2. I am the hugest Bruce fan and I had to hear it so someone told me where to find it and I got it. I will be first in line on oct 2nd to purchase a legal copy.

[Lethe]

11. wow this is not the way i thought the poll would turn out

you guys are some honest, law abiding citizens :)

or dirty liars :P

13. I hate the word "illegally" - the whole RIAA thing is a HUGE peeve of mine.

Lots, but I go in spurts.

I just downloaded one the other day I liked so much I immediately found them online and purchased all 4 of their cds directly.

I've ALWAYS bought a ton of music - and now I buy a ton from people I'd have never heard of if I hadn't seen it and wondered what it was - then downloaded it. I LOVE the internets. There's so much amazing stuff out there I wouldn't be aware of without it.

14. zero...

:shrug:

[fortyfeetunder]

15. I don't even know how to get that stuff illegally...

I have Sony and iTunes thanks to frequent flyer miles....

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. I hate musicals.

[WildEyedLiberal]

17. I buy most of my music from record labels online

I mail order the CDs online. I like having the jewel case and album artwork, guess I'm kinda old fashioned like that.

[DarkTirade]

18. None. I only download TV shows and movies. :P

I keed, I keed.

[BlueIris]

19. 0.

Which makes me feel like kind of a dork sometimes, but...what can I do?

[mvd]

20. None

I have so many albums that when I get low on money, I have plenty to enjoy.
