pirating for the ears

if i had lots of money, i would gladly pay for all the music that i have listened to. though i have to say that i did have my share of paying for music, way back when cds where not really that available and music lovers like me had to buy tapes which had a very short lifespan especially if you really dig the sound. but that was before, and a lot of those tapes were stolen. nowadays, i go for mp3s, and theres no better way to get them than through the net.

yeah, napster is gone, the company still exists but not as how they used to. still, the advent of so many peer-to-peer (P2P) softwares around keeps sharing music files possible.

now as i am writing this, i am on the process of burning a cd for some rare to find songs, the ones i grew up with.

thinking about music, i am sad about the new ones, the listeners these days. except for a few old dinosaur bands still around, the rock scene is dead. new bands sound like all others. i guess i was lucky to have been there when the changes happened, from new wave, to glam rock, metal music from sepultura and the likes, the grunge era of the seattle bands and yes, sadly, until its demise.

i guess that says i am quite not so young. ok i will say the word, old.

but one is never too young, or too old, to enjoy music. of course one is never too young or old to pirate music.
