bless d internet. . . i downloaded mariah carey's e=mc² 2 days ago

First of all, what the cost of the original if its affordable to all concern? and if not, u go for the substitute at ur own expense helping someone to keep his business going in return he is spoiling the real artist work and depriving him of the money acrue to him.












.

are we talking about naija CDs or all music in general? Naija albums come out with low quality packaging to max profit, if they were to bring out high quality CDs, we won't be buying albums for 150. cos then the cost of duplicating the CD might even go up to about that same price so where's the profit?

again, naija artists or marketers seem to target only the local market with music sales that's why u don't find our music on iTunes, cos nigerians in naija just don't buy music online.

I hope y'all aint suggesting that we should start buying naija music CD's for 9'99 or 13'99 , ?

Me ke! Neva had to buy one.they are so cheap that i get them as gifts.

they cheap because you don't know that they are pirated

Nothing be wrong with it. I live in london people still buy from top shops like HMV. AND people still buy off chinese men or download it off the internet. It has got to a time where artist even no them selves there will be people selling their cds.

1 luv

ever heard of copyrights and patents.

I don't buy pirated CDs but I download music through file sharing networks like Limewire. I don't believe this is wrong. Someone buys the music, decides to share with others, I mean, it's theirs to do what they want with it. All that "No lending, hiring, public viewing , " bit is ignored.
As for the piracy thing, the loss of revenue might not be that much considering the fact that most of the people who buy pirated CDs would not buy the original if the pirated ones became unavailable. Just my two pence!

is downloading from the internet the same as pirating?

i don't think it's wrong when you buy foreign cds are pirated. they too expensive. but as for the naija ones. come on, you cud help out our fellow country man now haba. but the thing is i've tried and tried but its so hard to differntiate btw original and pirated when it comes t naija artiste cds.

i actually agree with crazy legs.

i can honestly say that i neva bought a cd in my life
all movies, songs and other media stuff r limewire or just google simple as

limewire is d future, dunno if its illegal tellin u bout limewire but every1 uses it so must b legal

download limewire, anythin u want it's got it

y waste money on cd wen u can download for free?

Hey friends, na naija we dey, so i believe that we are not like the white, so the white behave like white while the black behave like blacks. Nothing can stop nothing in Nigeria.

For the record, i do not buy pirated CD's. It is so wrong. I know people will tell me to siddon jare, but how would you like it if people stole from you? That's what piracy is,

So you guys are perfectly okay with breaking the law just because of the price?

Seriously.

WHAT LAW ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, IS THERE ANY LAW AGAINST PIRACY, I JUST HEAR PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT I ACTUALLY HAVEN'T SEEN IT, OR IS IT JUST ABOUT MORALS, AND SOME TIMES YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT YOU BUYING A PIRATED CD, IT WOULD HAVE ALL THE COVERS AND STUFF JUST LIKE THE REAL DEAL, .HOW DO KNOW I AM ACTUALLY BUYING A PIRATED CD?

Why must you by pirated CD's? it not normal now, or any of you that supported it pray that you work and another person should spoil it?

Oh boy!
Considering the price of pirated cds to original cds then you will have a very good reason why pple but pirated cds.

money is not everything.
