Pirate thoufghts

So. Sometime in the near futrure I intend to ilelgally download several songs off the internet.

Whym, you ask?

YOu see - I have bought these songs legally. I downloaded them form my operator#s music store to my cell phone. and these files_ .DCF files are so full of DRM that I cannot even use them as ring tones - let alone move them to my computer or any such thing. And id I did move the hideous quality ones to my computer and convert them to mp3? this is still omg illegals.

I will illegally download thsese songd because I have already paid for them but they have not been provided to me in a satisfacttory manner. I will not buy these songs again on Amazon or Itunes, or in any other manner pay again for these specific songs.

Cause lets face it - I pay for my music. I have bought 12 physical CDs, 2 full album downloads and 20-odd Mp3 downloads since the start of 2010. and now made themistake of downloading these fucking dcf files. I measure my collection in number of albums, not gigabytes.

the lesson here is> I am willing to pay for my music. I wnat to pay for my music. and in exchange for my money, I want my music. Simple, yes?

carry on.

DRM Is one of the biggest hurdles in the current infformation age econbomy, imo. I still remember the sony rootkits. And that XKCD is definitely topical...
