Immorality?

New Dream Theater CD came out a week ago. In case you didn't know, I'm a bigtime DT fan. BIGTIME.

Having it come out so close to my birthday (which was today) was pretty cool. I figured I could have somebody gift it to me. Sure enough, Mari offered to do it, and I was not going to listen to it till she gave it to me.

But then, I found out that my brother (Diego) bought the CD from iTunes. I didn't know he was going to buy it, nor did I ask him to. But he likes DT too, so it seems logical for him to do so.

Now, I don't have a lot of experience with iTunes, but from what I played with it last night, I came to the conclusion that I hate it. I wanted to transfer the songs to my phone, cause there's no point in buying it myself (well, I'm pretty sure DT wouldn't mind). Only cause it's digital doesn't mean I can't "borrow" it from my brother. But it's so fucking hard to keep iTunes synced in various computers. I wanted it in my laptop so I could sync it with the rest of my music, and not the rest of my brother's music, but I wasn't able to do it. So... I downloaded it from other "sources."

Was I wrong in doing that? I only downloaded it cause my brother bought it. I want to support the artist. But I don't want to re-buy the album just so I can have it in my laptop. But this wouldn't have happened if iTunes wasn't retarded. Anywho, I don't feel morally guilty at all :).

Check out who started following my blog:

  3. well, I gotta say, I think you should buy it. If you won't even buy your favorite band's album, then what do you buy? I am pretty sure digital downloads are not for sharing...although it would be interesting what they would say about family members sharing the downloads. This might be a gray area...that's it. Topic for the podcast! hahaha
