The Cellar - View Single Post - Internet downloading poll for my CJ class

I found out about mp3s and their easy download so long ago (it was, gosh, in 99, I think) that I really don't remember how I found out about it. Probably from a friend at the callcentre I worked at.

Yeah, I use to download music, but that has stopped in recent years for several reasons:

1. Despite filenames, you really don't know what you're getting.
2. I like my music ripped at high bitrates. The ones you find online are generally 128kbps or less.
3. I have enough disposable income now that I can afford the CD's I want.
4. Really, it does feel like I'm doing something wrong when I do it. That isn't meant to pass judgement on anyone, but when *I* do it, I feel like I've done something wrong.

Male, 26.
