Downloading Revolution





The record execs did not know what was coming thier way after over-charging us all these years for music and abusing artists. A little thing called the Internet, which I insist on capitalizing as it is more important than other things that get that treatment, has brought us a free space where thought anarchy can roam, if it wants to. The download culture has changed everything. Forcing capitalism scum to succumb to it and use it to thier advantage, My Boo for 99 cents anyone?
Remember how they raged over Napster then stole it and made it boring and profitable? Even when it's creator who rose to stardom committed suicide after all the lawsuits. He was just a kid that loved music. Moreover, everyone did the same with cassettes, everyone had a bunch of pirated cassettes. So, they made the CD, which was, for the longest time unburnable, until technology, yet again, preceded monopoly.

Still to this day we have Kazaa and other file stealing softwere. Limewire, is my program of choice. I spent the whole night with a friend downloading great oldies and new tracks and live ditties. And of course, those unreleased remixes that sometimes sound so much beter than the original or creates a club twist to it. Tamia and Deborah Cox, wouldn't amount to anything if it weren't for those.



So keep downloading and getting it for free before they shut it down on you. I am sorry, but I am not going to dish out $17.99 or 6KD for Holly Valance's crap album just to listen to one song.

Music: Roam - B-52's
