I do buy some stuff i’ve “sampled”. But i must admit i just as often keep the sampes but not buy the album.

I’m not sure what the answer will be for the music industry. Lower wages and more touring i suspect.

@TheMadHouse, I think most peoples musical tastes tend to freeze as soon as they are parents. It’s what ensures our kids embarrassment of us in later life.

@Mwa, I tend to rent TV series and then rip them. It’s still illegal obviously, but I feel a bit better that I’ve paid money somewhere in the process.

And it’s my belief that UK TV lisence fee players should be allowed to download any BBC TV or radio programs without no qualms whatsoever.

@Dad Who Writes, speaking of iphone games – have you seen Settlers? I had to have an entire PC to run that game not so long ago. Bloody amazing!

@Erin, What you to get up to at night is your own concern.

You’re a bad man Mr Hughes. I’ll tell you right now, there’s no underhanded compooota shenanigans going on in our house. None. Whatsoever.

As far as mp3s go, I’d have to say I’m (mostly) reformed, apart from the most obscurely unavailable stuff – combination of Spotify and eMusic. I think the real threat to the likes of the DS isn’t piracy but the iPhone/iPod Touch. Why would I buy a DS game for 23 to 35 quid when I can pick up perfectly compelling little games for as little as 59p? I have, however, ripped a few TV shows from my DVR HD but stopped fairly quickly – once I realised that I had about 100 hours of unwatched TV on it and how on earth was storing it in another medium going to help?
I’m rambling – main cause of problems in music industry isn’t piracy but lack of anything worth pirating on the major labels.

@Dan, No, we cancelled the subscription to Napster as soon as Spotify arrived in the UK, I can put up with a few adverts here and there if it saves me £10 a month.

I also use Media Monkey to play my own “cough” borrowed “cough” collection of MP3’s but also for its damn good collection of internet radio stations, my music listening hours now outnumber my TV viewing hours by a factor of dozens now.
