Recently found this article in the Independent - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/illegal-downloaders-spend-the-most-on-music-says-poll-1812776.html
In it the claim that on average people that download music illegally spend more than people that buy music legally…
What a load of bollocks, who made that article? Why are people with this mental capacity employed???
Quick example - My mate buys all his music CD format to ’support’ the music industry.
It costs him £5 for the train, £15 for the cd. That’s £20 quid before all the other factors. Now imagine that he buys A LOT of CD’s and music… Expensive to say the least.
Whereas in my (and everybody with a clues) case - Bittorrent = £0 - Time to download = 5-20 mins per album - Torrent link = £0
The average album size is about 50mb in mp3 format. I have near enough 300 gig of music downloaded on one hard drive alone.
30000mb/50mb=600 Albums
Normal consumers price (based on average album costing £10) - 10*600=£6000
Downloaders price - 0+0=FREE
HOW IS THAT NOT CHEAPER???
