What's an MP3?

Okay...  Since some people seem to take everything that is on the Internet literally, I feel obligated to remind everyone that I KNOW the file format ".mp3" is NOT illegal, but that the trading of MP3s is frowned upon by the music industry.  But, since the people who felt obligated to tell me this never trade MP3s, they don't understand that the majority of MP3 use is not "legal."  So thank you, you bastions of knowledge, for saving me from simplicity.

These are the ones I have as of fairly recently.  If you'd like anything I have, let me know, I might be able to help you find them.

Why MP3 Trading Should be Legalized

I am a very big proponent of MP3s and not just because it saves me a lot of money. In actuality, it has done the opposite. Since starting my collection I have bought a number of albums that I would never have even thought about buying if I hadn't listened to the MP3 and gotten hooked on it. Here is a list of albums that I have bought after having at least one MP3 of the group:

Ash - Free All Angels + Trailer
Better Than Ezra
- Deluxe + Friction Baby
The Bloodhound Gang - One Fierce Beer Coaster
Blur - Blur
Coolio - It Takes a Thief
Dandy Warhols - 13 Tales from Urban Bohemia
Dinosaur Jr. - Without a Sound
Dishwalla - Pet Your Friends
Eels - Beautiful Freak
Everclear - So Much for the Afterglow
Flys - Holiday Man
Fuel - Sunburn
Garbage - Garbage + Version 2.0
KoRn - Issues
Marcy Playground
Muse -
Showbiz
Our Lady Peace - Clumsy
Placebo - Black Market Music
Sevendust
Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me single
Stabbing Westward - Darkest Days
Sugar Ray - 14:59
Third Eye Blind
The Verve Pipe - Villains

So as you can see, there is plenty of reason for record companies to allow or even promote MP3s because at (at least) $15 a pop, that's plenty of money going to their pockets directly because of MP3s. Perhaps if the music industry realized that the lack of quality means lack of demand for entire albums, they would change, like any other business. For now, they are trying to outlaw any way to get it other than through them instead of improving the product or lower the price... Deomocracy?

Legalize MP3s Now!
