At least, that's what a . Why? Because 36.4% of the 1.66 million computers survey had LimeWire, a popular peer-to-peer (P2P) program installed. Guilty by association?


I have LimeWire installed on my Mac. This doesn't make me a thief. In fact, I've bought a wide range of music through iTunes over the past year. I think I've downloaded one or two songs and a few goal compilations using LimeWire in the past year when I couldn't find them on iTunes. The songs in question - by Led Zeppelin - I ended up buying (again, as I'd already bought them once or twice on CD and cassette tape) when they became available on iTunes.



So, onion dark website 99.999% of the music I've listened to in the past year was happily bought through legitimate means. .001% was not. At least, not originally. Am I a thief? I suppose so. But not by any devious plan. I imagine that I'm not alone in how I consume music.



But maybe as a 30-something geezer, I'm atypical. Maybe everyone does want to steal music, as the music industry seems to believe. If this is the case, [url=]as Ars Technica writes, dark market url charging more per song does not sound like a winning resolution to the problem:

This data also should give the major labels pause in their ongoing attempts to convince Apple that $0.99 per song is way too cheap.



The music industry . It resisted the digital urge for so long that it helped to push people to steal rather than purchase music. I think it's in an intermediate quandary, but one that will fade as more and more people get used to the idea for [url=https://mydarkmarket.com]dark web market links buying digital music, whether through iTunes (or other online markets), ringtones, dark markets 2024 or other means.



The music industry can take solace in the discovery that certain demographics are more likely to buy music than others: , for one, but also older users. [url=]Teens are rarely going to be a good source of income for any company, but once they graduate...more disposable income and more propensity to pay for value.



In sum, the music industry can use Simon and Garfunkel to subsidize Britney Spears. Take heart: darkmarket link thieves eventually grow up to become corporate drones with cash to burn and the inclination to do so in legitimate ways.
