Sadly, no. The music industry are bitching with the ISPs about who's responsible for ~file sharing~ and not even trying to come up with legit models for music and TV downloads. Cos we never get overseas TV series at the same time that they're airing in the UK or US so Aussies are big TV downloaders in order to keep up. The tyranny of distance and stupid media. XD It's sad that they're finally doing something about it, but we still end up being two weeks behind (at least with the shows I've been keeping up with.)
Yeah, and I suppose torrenting means I can listen to the album in my own time cos I'm the sort of person who needs to spend some time with an album before I decide I like it or not. Sometimes albums really need to grow on you first. I can't even imagine only buying music based on 30 second samples alone. D:
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
