Well, we could talk all day about the moral implications of illegal music downloading. There seem to be a fair number of people who back up their massive pirate mp3 collections with something about "the music industry is dumb" or "sharing doesn't hurt artists" or whatever. All a bit dubious for me -- is it coincidence that music sales started plummeting the exact moment in 2000 that Napster came out? And these days, a lot of artist are selling DIRECT on itunes and etc. -- so when u pirate their songs, you are literally deciding not to pay the person who made the music -- there is often NO record company involved now....

Anyway ... my take is that I tend to use iTunes not for any moral reason, but just because I HATE dealing with the two main problems with limewire/bearshare etc

Problem #1 -- spyware/virus/filth
Problem #2 -- lack of selection

I'm into techno/trance/electronic music almost exclusively, and a lot of the stuff is actually pretty HARD to find on limewire... I could spend hours looking for it but I prefer not.

I tend to search around on iTunes for compliation series that I feel have good selections, and then just buy whole compilations... recently I've been spending way too much money on this series -- *link deleted*

If wanted to get some Anime I'd go to Animebreaker since I link the entire site has megaupload links. Even though it takes most of the files from other sites :redface2: it puts them in one place so I don't have to go from site to site. They even got some live-action.

I downloaded from TV Nihon only twice in my life since I don't like torrents. AND because my internet sucks

(Off Topic: If anyone knows how to speed up your internet WITHOUT the help of the provider plz send me a PM)

Through a site called eSnips or Bittorrent. Works for me.

I personally download a lot of ripped music. Yeah, I know, shame on me. Most of it is foreign and harder to get though and 2/3s of it is stuff that I would love to buy the CD for once I have that kind of money to throw around (no really, I do like owning the physical object and I can think of at least ten MP3 albums I intend to replace with CDs at some point).

iTunes is a fantastic idea and I'd use it a lot more often if it weren't totally copy-protected. I am an artist in several mediums including film and I like my music to be flexible and usable. I do feel a tiny bit bad about it (and in a few cases I refuse to *not* buy a band's album) but that's how it goes sometimes.

As for toku I get it all over the place. DVDs, Bittorrent, DDL, wherever I can get it and know it won't fry my computer.
