...stuff from You Are The Quarry was available well before the release date. Don't remember any complaints back then. And even if I'd got the entire new album on mp3, I would buy it anyway, because it's Morrissey*.

I reserve the right to download Viva Hate, though. Because I bought that on tape years ago, the tape just DIED, and I'm sick of hearing "Late Night Maudlin Street" sounding as though it was being sung underwater.

...and I shouldn't be this excited about the leaked songs. I will never get over Morrissey! NEVER! (I'mgoingtoseehimhahaha)

Oh agreed. I bought 'World of Morrissey' after all, and I'm fairly certain I already had all the songs on CD. Besides, you don't get the shiny cover to look at unless you buy.

Exactly.

I've long said that if the record companies are going to tell me that I only have a LICENSE to the music I pay for, and can't do with it what I see fit, then they're going to have to accept that I believe my license entitles me to free lifetime replacement copies of any song I ever paid for.

Dear God, you just know what 'JoeMoz' was like at school - 'please Miss, can I clean the board please Miss' and 'Miss, it was Johnny that threw the paper plane, Miss' and 'Miss, I would never post an illegal link Miss, it was those other nasty children'. You can just imagine the little prig being duffed up on the playground and thoroughly deserving it.

Does this count as breaking Snacky's Law?

	doesn't really care about the wank, just wants the mp3s Every big album is leaked nowadays. I think it's cool that people care enough about Moz to bother to leak his new songs. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I love the leaks, man. With some of my favourite artists, the demos are generally far better than the end result anyway, so it's nice to have both. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	vampslayer04 2006-02-08 06:05 am UTC (link)
	Here's my reasoning: If I'm going to download one song, it probably means I wouldn't buy the CD anyway because that was the only song or one of the few songs I liked. If I download everything, I'm going to buy the CD, especially if I've bought that person or group's CD before and liked them. (Reply to this)(Thread)

There was a big war in the Jason Mraz fandom around the time that the first single from his second album was leaked, and the argument people kept using (because the eebil downloaders kept saying that yes, they'd still get the album) was that now nobody would buy the Wordplay single.

The general reaction to that was "... singles? Does anyone buy singles? Do they even SELL singles in music stores anymore?"

Oh, I'm not laughing at all, they're a brilliant idea! I think that if record companies are going to persist in signing talentless artists and handing them one decent song to record, despite the fact that the internet has given people the power to avoid the subsequent albums full of crap filler, they might be wise to return to the single format in a bigger way. I only scoffed because i really and truly do not know of a single music store in my area that sells them.
