I say go for it…if only for your love of mash ups…partly because I’m the one who gave Heather that compact disc including that song. Also included in that mix was a pretty great one between “sweet home alabama” and “country grammar”.

For the record, Dave Matthews Band allows free trading of their concerts. So, as long as you aren’t downloading the live recordings that are for sale, carry on my wayward son.

t,
here’s a good solution, mac has a free program called acquisition, it’s not limewire, and therefore you avoid your dilemma altogether…

First of all, there is a 0% chance you’ve “un-downloaded” any version of Tripping Billies or any other song you’ve downloaded in the past, meaning your moral conviction is, “I won’t download ANY MORE songs as long as I can keep the ones I have.” You’ve gone this far, why stop for a version of Toxic?

I wish God had said something about stealing somewhere, sometime in history so we would know what to do when we face “dilemmas” like this.

ps God is already mad at you for thinking about it.

Tyler, I once faced this same dilemma when I wanted a GI Joe at K-Mart. What did I do you may ask? Why, I found a cheaper item in the store, took off the sticker and covered the price on the GI Joe action figure. This was before the days of the laser scan, or what I call the “cancer ray”, and the checkout kid was none the wiser. So, having said that, I think you should pay for the music. If you can’t, then suck it up.

What about lala.com or grooveshark.com, both legal and free or cheap. If you can’t buy it, why is it a problem to not buy it?

Limewire is really easy to get caught on. Use torrent programs like Azureus. Way better quality and as far as I know, fewer chances to get viruses.

I’ve got a few friends in the music industry, so i tend to be a namedropper. I also tend to be more of a stickler on pirated music (can i say that or is it no longer PC?). My rule of thumb is: If it’s something I would NEVER buy, then I’m okay not paying for it. Except if a friend burns me a CD and i love it, I usually don’t go out and buy it. So I guess I’m pretty wishy-washy.

I’m scared of LimeWire for the viruses and malware more than anything…even with a Mac.
