Title: Sails ahoy!
Post by: Charismatic on February 21, 2007, 10:21:04 pm
Not that any of us would support this, or do this but:

If one were to pirate music, where would one look? (Excluding Kazaa, and assuming Limewire is understood, as well as bittorrent)
A place that has older music, say, 1995 +, as well as new stuff.

Who can help this poor tormented soul find the music he is searching for?

No P2P? No Torrents?

You're ****ed.

Usenet would probably be your best bet. Although I say that only as general well-intentioned advice, never having used newsgroups myself.

Bit torrent.

Or if you are just looking for music, you can go to Baidu and click on the MP3 tab. Granted most of the music there is not good quality.

You could do a Google search for Free mp3s. Some of the sites that pop up are actually legitimate. YourMp3 (or something like that). Is a reasonable place.

Wait a minute-- since when can we just ask where to pirate music?

I think that as long as you don't provide any links, or links to a place that may have links, or links to links that...well, you get it.

But like the gods on some ancient pantheon, our admins are a fickle and complex lot, quick to anger and mighty in their smiting*, so who can say.

kidding. Please don't smite me, and verily I shall sacrifice two goats in your honour at the summer solstice.

Pirate, not buy via currency.  :p

Not that any of us wonderful law abiding people would ever dream of doing such activities.

Let me get this right... in one thread you're thumping a certain book... while in another thread you're asking for how to pirate music.

Does anyone see the complete and total logical... nay moral inconsistency here?

Or is it just me who expects a rational universe where people practice what they preach?

sweet! with these links I can -- umm theoretically get path with actual cellos now! Not that I would... I mean, pirate it... YEAH pirating stuff is... bad... very bad...


EDIT: oh crap!! I forgot I hate electric cellos!! I guess I'll just stick to the Baritone Saxaphone version I made with my freinds.

I mean... uh... I'd stick to my version anyway... yeah... I sure didn't download path illigaly and listen to it. Nope. never.

No no...I used to expect that sort of thing but most of my faith in the human race has been removed.  It seems like most people seem to set their moral compass where ever it will serve them best at the time.  It'd be really nice if everyone focused on being honourable and true to their word.

Do you know what the entire basis of capitalism is? People acting for their own benefit, all of the time, no matter what. As a balance, the government is there to make sure you don't lie or steal too much. Apparently, it hangs together all right.

I thought we had all convinced ourselves that it wasn't morally wrong to pirate music since the RIAA are a bunch of greedy buggers, and/or "I wouldn't buy it anyway," and/or "If I like it I'll buy the cd." ?
Title: Re: Sails ahoy!
Post by: Ford Prefect on February 22, 2007, 10:45:35 pm
Well I have-- I dunno about anyone else.

Actually, in all seriousness, piracy is useless for most of the music I listen to.

Same for me, mostly.  The music I listen to is either free, or me playing in it so it's still free.

Oh thats fine if they're willing to admit it.  I'm willing to tolerate a fair bit if people are honest, sometimes even brutally so.  At least you know where they are.  But inconsistency and double standards are what Ace and I are on about.

Back on toipc?

I havent found Baritone Saxaphone, and that link (http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/media/) i could not find out wtf it was saying. When i googled Baidu it had some weird links. Can anyone PM the links if they dont wish to publicly post it?

YourMP3 seemd to be fine, and i found a few others from there. Tho full ambums seem to be crazy hard to get, and the few bands im looking for i cannot find anywhere. Alta vista was interesting.

Isn't there also that Russian site that has been in the news alot recently?
Title: Re: Sails ahoy!
Post by: Rictor on February 23, 2007, 07:17:36 am
allofmp3.com

They're selling full albums for, if I remember correctly, $1.00. There was/is a whole big thing about whether it's legal or not, but I think for the moment you would be safe using it. Their arguement is that what they're doing is perfectly legal in Russia, and other countries are kind of a grey area, which has worked so far because the Russian government didn't want to bother cracking down on them. Then the RIAA pressured the US government, who pressured the US government, and now the future is uncertain.

One thing about the russian sites, all the ones i went to have horrible download rates and only download like 1 meg before they knock out. theyre horrible.

I havent found Baritone Saxaphone

If you're looking for what I was talking about earlier, you won't find it on the internet. A couple of my friends transposed path to key of E flat and then we played it on four Baris (holy crap they were hard to find) and recorded it. I personally don't have a good recording, but if you are interested (and if this post wasn't a waste) when I get a better version I could post it here.


Meanwhile, here is my current version. I hope the link works (http://www.sharebigfile.com/file/90648/Path--BariQuartet1-mp3.html)

what's your point ? it's not like our system is great or anything, the government is in deep ****, there's a million homeless and the middle class is about to collapse during our generation.
