I am for it because we have a cd burner in our computer drive so I have had it since we bought the computer. I have about 16 burned cds....lots of songs! I like it:-) Maybe if cds weren't so much money I would actually go out and buy some.  |

They're far overpriced anyway. I never buy CD's, I burn ALL of mine. blank cd's are way cheaper plus you can fit more songs on them. =)  |

Yeah I know, it's like rebeling against the record companies by burning cds, lol. Yeah I think that even if they were closer to $15, i would buy more, but GRR, having to blow one babysitting check after spending 9 hours with a little hellian, I don't know if a cd is worth it, so GO CD BURNERS! LoL anyway.....*looks around to make sure not too many people saw that* |

I got a pack of 25 blank CD's (700MB CD-R's) for about 9 or 10 bucks. Yet one music CD ranges from 15-17 dollars?.. and look at all the songs and albums you could fit on 25. I'm getting a bargain deal.. =) |

I'm against it. I vaguely know the singer of an English Indie band and the last time I saw them live he said to me that he was thinking of re-forming his earlier (and much more sucessful band) because of the poor sales of his latest band. As he put it with a shrug of his shoulders he still had a mortgage to pay, and that really bought home to me the bottom line of song stealing. Best wishes  |

it would be nice if we could pay the artist directly, eliminating the middle man, now the middle man is the computer -- just send some money directly to the artist  sb12  |

i'm totally for it!!.. it's cheaper... you get to hear people and cds before you buy them and if you want to buy them you can.. IF CDS cost LESS i may buy them more often.. but of course they don't.. the cd what they sell you they may maybe 50 cents for that cd and then it's jus tmark up after mark up after mark up... if cds were around 10 bux it would be different  |

I can'tafford to buy the CDs and many are not even available anymore like stuff from the early 70's and 60's I have looked and looked and online was the only place I could find it you can't purchase what s not for sale and much of it I had purchased years ago and either wore out or it was stolen or destroyed by my X  |

I burn my own cd's all the time. Plus I make better cover art that is on the cd's in the store. Also I'm not sure where I would find the music I listen to either? There aren't very many places to buy music where I live. I finally saw a Dropkick Murphy's cd in the store 1 day. RIght now I'm in the process of making cd with The Misfits on it. I make my own "greatest hits" cd's LOL  |

Well i have to admite, that ever since I've gotten KaZaA, that's all i've been doing, is downloading songs.. Ever since my brother got a cd burner, i've gotten so many burnt cd's so i'm not against burning cd's or downloading  |

Yeah, If it's a real favourite band of mine I'll usually buy the original because I know that all of the songs will appeal to me. I never downloaded whole cd's but I like downloading music off the net and making my own cd's, because I love creating my own mixes and I get to hear music that I probably would have never had the chance to hear. |

The only reason I listen to the radio anymore is because I want more songs to download, and that it's pretty much my only source of the outside world, well and MTV, but they don't play enough videos any more for me to rely on that as my music source! |

I'm for it too. I wouldn't have got half the stuff if I couldn't download. I don't download all of an album just the ones I really like. Yeah they are over-priced. I do buy occasionally though so I'm not a complete pranny... Coolade  |

I feel guilty but I do it. Bands I really love I go out and buy the real thing as I want the real stuff for my collection but bands I like but dont care all that much about. I burn them or download them. I dont agree with selling them at all though. That is really wrong, not to mention illegal. I burn them for my own personal use only.  |

nope not at all. First off what's the difference between burning a cd and making a tape. Downloading a song... as far as I know the only musicians that have a problem with downloading the songs are the rich ones. I have yet to hear of say the aquabats complaining about people burning their music. Most "good" musicians are in it for the fun and joy of making music, not making the money. For instance, Iwhen I bought my Mac, yes I did say MAC. it came with at least 50 songs already loaded on it. I'm very grateful because I found out about a musician where I probably never would have heard of her before. I think it's ok. sorry for rambling  |

Typically, its not the artists who care, its the record labels because the artists dont make much money from their record sales. Records are just a marketing tool. Artists make most of their money from touring. That being said, I also use Kazaa and I burn my own cds, but like others if I really like the band/artist, I usually buy the real thing. BTW has anyone heard about Pressplay or whatever, its this Kazaa/Morpheus type program but you have to pay like 18$ a month for it, and they only have like 100,000 songs. On top of that, they restrict the burning of songs to ten a month...ARE THEY CRAZY??? You can fit double that on a cd! Okay, I guess I'm done. -- HeArTbRoKeN187  |

I saw something like this on television. they were talking about how no one is buying as many CDs as they used to and that the artists aren't getting much money and in the future there will be no money for new artists and there will be no music. Well back in the day when artists got a couple hundred bucks per show well you didn't hear them complaining. I think that if your gonna be a singer then you shouldn't do it for the money. Music helps people get though life and this should give the artists all the reward they need. Why should they get millions of dollars with a voice that thousands of people who aren't famous have also. Now there are some singers that I think have a great voice that not everyone has like Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Charlotte Church, and Mariah Carey. And to top it off some CD prices are outrageous. So my answer to the topic of this debate is yes I favor CD burning.  |
