OTOH, anyone finds me Peter Godwin's Images of Heaven without having to spend $50 for just the one damn song...
Apparently I have standards, but only to a certain price.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I know I usually downloaded things I would otherwise have purchased, and usually later did, but couldn't find in the small hours. Sometimes, I downloaded things I already owned, but had misplaced.
And, fine, a lot of live bootlegs of Tori Amos and Depeche Mode.
These days, I'm mostly iTuning it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I spend a lot of money on iTunes. I adore it for the ability to grab one off tracks.
Oh yes, it is of the good. Though I have a fauxPod, so I'm spending my money on fauxTunes. And, Dell offers such a service, which is compatible with my fauxPod, but they don't offer it in Australia and I can't buy from their American site now I no longer have a US-addressed credit card. So I use an Australian site, and my fauxPod only recognises the title and not the artist. Bad fauxPod, no biscuit.
Oh, I can't sustain that, I loves my fauxPod. Don't know how I got on without it. ND! Have you bought Aperitif For Destruction yet?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
She's gotten SO much bigger since I was there. Still painfully cute though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Nowadays, the only music I download without paying for is either free to begin with or impossible to purchase at any price (eg: mashups).

I'm not actually going to buy something until I have heard enough to increase the liklihood that I will also actually enjoy it. It's why I really don't buy a lot of music now. The owners of the intellectual property no doubt don't care, but they would make a whole lot more money off of me if I could take their intellects for a test drive first.
As the copyright "expert" at my library, I'm pretty anal about this, but there is a good argument that downloading an entire song to determine whether or not you want to buy it is fair use, as long as you either buy or delete afterwards. Copyright holders should be treated fairly. But fair use is there for a reason, and should be used but not abused in order to avoid losing it altogether.
getting off my soapbox now.

iTunes should really find a way to let me download a song for a couple of days before I have to shell the cash or it self-destructs. How do I know if I like something until I have commuted with it once or twice?
Ima go microwave the grain-filled thing and try to get some sleep now.

Dude, she's HUGE!
I just did the slide show, and she looks so small in the pictures with you and the pictures with Libkitty and Debet Esse.

Before you get too excited, Cass, fair use goes out the window if you have to circumvent electronic controls, as then the DMCA comes into play. But if you don't have to circumvent, you should be in good shape. By the way, IMnotsoveryHO, the DMCA is a crappy law. I highly recommend that people follow it, but complain bitterly to their legislators.
