The Prodigy, Invaders Must Die
Whoooot, today I’ve got email from the Prodigy, one of my favorite bands. I’ve got all their albums. They released the single Intruders must die a few weeks ago, totally for free. Ofcourse I downloaded that track rapidly. Today they mailed the new album was available via iTunes.
I bought it immediatly. Now tell me!? Do free downloads work or not.
Last months I discovered so much new music to me via illegal downloads. And the ones I really liked, I bought. So please don’t tell me that illegal downloads are wrong. People (record companies) have to see illegal downloads like radio! You discover and hear music you like, and then if you really are a fan, you buy the album.
Ofcourse I never could have bought all the music I downloaded. My budget is just a few bucks a week. Same counts for the game industry. I download a lot of Wii games, lot’s of them are crap. And I am glad I tested them before buying. Mario Galaxy however just is great, so I bought that one after playing the illegal version.
Message to people who download illegal stuff –> “Keep downloading, but if you really like it! Spend you’re money to support the original artist!”
