Does anyone else think of making mix cds for your own and other people's pleasure as totally fine, while burning a whole cd makes your morals flutter a little bit (even if you do it anyway)?
Yeah I agree, and to be honest, if someone burns me a whole cd and I don't like it, it will just save me returning it to the shop, and if the cd is really good, I'll go out and buy it.
This poll doesn't seem to address actually burning their own original music to CD-R. Surely that's pretty relevant with all the bedroom musos lurking across NZ? Whaddaya reckon?
it would be nice to get some concrete evidence on this , instead of some silly estimate by RIANZ
i use lots of CDRs
Most for producing my own music
Quite a few for backing up data
Some for sending files to people (software piracy opens up a whole new can of worms btw, most of my friends have stacks and stacks of illegal data Cds)
a few to burn other music onto
Burn cd's for music unless it's from NZ, then I'll buy it. I don't feel bad about ripping bands from overseas (esp USA) off, but its just wrong to do you to fellow kiwi's.
So if I were in the US, spent years refining my craft, saved for ages to self-fund an album worked hard to get some decent promo and distribution done, you think it'd be a nice thing to do to rip me off?
yeah i agree...it sucks that the thought of all your hard work gets ripped off by someone who copies the cd off their mate. I reckon copying cd's is ok, as long as you are copying a cd you already have, or are making a mix cd from cd's you already have. Otherwise you're ripping the artist off. If that person really wanted the CD they should go out and buy it. If everyone did that there would be more artists out there, and the law of supply and demand means that CD's would get cheaper, because as people buy more, labels can afford to sign more artists, and thus supply more music....
Call me retarded but i actually enjoy having the real thing in my hot little hands. I'll usually download a few songs, then figure out whether i like it or not...if i do, i'll go buy the CD.
Unless it's not released in NZ...now thats another story...
about 50 % of the cds that ive ever bought have been cause ive heard songs on a mixtape
most cds that i get copies of i end up buying, depending of course on whether or not they are crap
I used to burn music to CD. Doesn't matter if it's just NZ music or international music - onto the CD-R it went!
I no longer do that, but what I do is that I rip CDs to MP3 for convenience. Can't wait for the changes to the Copyright Act to come into force (okay they still need to be finalised before that can happen) which will allow people to format shift.
I spend so much money on CD's and records every year. I also download specific songs that i wish to hear. I burn mix CDs for my friends all the time and occassionally I will burn an album. But to be honest I hate burnt CD's. They are a shiity format with no pride. I always buy it, if i like it, and throw away the burn. They don't last long and it sucks not having cover art..and it is stealing peoples intelectual copyright.
I do feel that mix tapes/cds are where its at though. They stimulate interest in bands that people havn't heard of. They are great way to impress chicks with nerdy obscure pretty songs. And they help freakish music addicts like myself let off steam.
Mind you..leteley music has sounded dull, all i want to do is watch rugby.
I agree. A guy I work with made me a CD of mp3s of his favourite bands... some of them have entire albums in there, but it's just made me want to buy those exact albums to have them in all their sexy plastic glory. And buy them I do.
