I've bought a couple hundred songs off iTunes, but 0.99 has always been the most I'd consider paying, and had really hoped that the price would drop once the legal download sites had proven their worth. So in case the prices actually go up, post your favorite alternative music procurement methods.

If they did it....it would be the death of the RIAA. There is NO WAY they could survive the retaliation from users.

The people have spoken....the legal downloading works.

By the time you go to the bathroom and stand in line for your popcorn, Pepsi and Junior Mints it'll be back. I think.

Just be sure to use your seat cushion as a flotation device.

I actually laughed and laughed at that one.

But I did what I had to do and became a Republican. Now I don't need that place anymore.
