Berlin - Take my breath away

I've purchased around 300 CD's. This doesnt count the 250 or so cassettes I've owned, nor the handful of vynls. Is it stealing? Maybe to them. In my eyes, I've paid my dues. And then some. If I choose to get 1 or 2 songs free tough titty. I still buy CD's. In fact, I fully plan on buying Berlin. But I'd like to listen to it for a few days until I can get to the store. And if they would try to mix good music instead of this canned crap they make anymore I wouldnt be too worried about it. But if I hear Hey Yea one more time I'm gonna crash into a broadcast tower I swear to God......

Anyways, I win. WinMX > RIAA. ;)

AAP - Turn of a Friendly Card: DLed first.
Queensryche - The Warning, Rage for Order, Empire: DLed first.
Thick as a Brick: DLed first.
EL&P - EL&P, Brain Salad Surgery: DLed first.
Damn those file sharing bastards (and whoever didn't buy enough Ian Moore CDs to keep them in print--I like new CDs better than used).
Why can't we all like pop, huh? :evil:

If you don't download anything, why must you bitch to the dean about your downloads being limited?

owned.

Backups of my site that I run every few days are 300+mb.
I have agreements with some publishers to get high res book covers and other content of books. Penguin publishing's fiction works alone are over 3gb.

so not owned

LoL, usually by the 19th one I get a good one. Make sure you try to download songs of different size and title. Many of the songs have title variation... I try to go for the ones that look less professional.
