WOW! Thanks everyone for the tremendous response to the new album. We are hearing some intermittent reports of a somewhat stresed server.

I hope it is selling well, because it's now appearing on pirate networks.

Re: BTTR Must Be Selling Well
From the blog:
Our ‘exclusive sneak preview digital download’ of the new record was a good idea, maybe too good of an idea. It ends up we overwhelmed the server so it is down until it is revamped to handle the mass traffic we are receiving.

Oh come on Daniel. It is ok for poor Christians to steal music. It is only wrong for the rich to steal. Besides. It is only music. It isn't like a real product. If they were real ministers they would give it away for free.Daniel wrote:I hope it is selling well, because it's now appearing on pirate networks.

Gee. I can see it coming. We have been there before. Someone is bound to say it.

Re: BTTR Must Be Selling Well
It's amazing when someone can't afford something they think God makes exception to the rule. I used to use the excuse that it was no different than your cousin making a copy of a cassette for you back in the day.
The thing is, this is on a greater level. All of the sudden you have thousands getting their copy off of one free file instead of those thousands buying it from the artist. Not only that, but the quality level of the free file is usually poor so you don’t get a good quality album, just a free one.

Re: BTTR Must Be Selling Well
My question is, if people downloading music illegally can afford a computer, why can't they afford to pay for the music? Just a thought.
The solution is simple: You can't afford something, you do without. And music, although it has its place, is something that isn't necessary for survival. It's called living on a budget/within your means. I guess some folks don't see it like that though.

Re: BTTR Must Be Selling Well
That's a good point shell. Some people have computers given to them, but at the same time. How are they affording the internet. Most everything now is DSL or Cable which runs into a lot of money a month. So how are they paying for it? And it's not like they have to do without music all togehter, there are free internet radio stations that play music 24 hours a day. TheRightPlace anyone?Shell wrote:My question is, if people downloading music illegally can afford a computer, why can't they afford to pay for the music? Just a thought.

Since sound and visuals went to digital and the Internet became standard, it's been downhill for the industry.

The more technology brings us "do it your self" things, the more any industy is going to hurt from it.Since sound and visuals went to digital and the Internet became standard, it's been downhill for the industry.

Re: BTTR Must Be Selling Well
Guess you guys are having fun with your circle jerk of hating on people who download music. Whatever. I have no issues with it, and no amount of bashing is going to make me stop doing it.
