Alright, then, surely I give "hurt" the wrong meaning, but! My collector-penis would like to kindly remark that if manufacturers made just 1000 copies, then they're fine with just 1000 buyers owning it =D
In the end, it's up to us, there's no harm in asking (unless you're a lucky one and get the user that reports you instantly)... and there's no harm in giving "no" as answer. Now, who's got some ice, pwetty-pleash? You know, for my collector-thingy... That was a good hit, recovery is needed |

If male collectors have a collector-penis, do female collectors have a collector-vagina then? *puzzled*

I'd guess so, the only thing I'm sure of is that I've considered the use of "blow", instead of "hit", but ultimately decided against it. Feared someone would get the wrong idea

Nah! It's still a collector-penis. It's a figurative one but it still is one. Plus this may solve some penis envy problems for some people. I think it's a win-win really.

This whole stuff about rare goods, it just pisses me off. If you get a boner by keeping rare stuff rare on purpose even though it's long out of its sale period: Gratz. You know how these thoughts separate you from all those capitalist scum out there that value financial profit over anything else? Not at all. Giving other people the chance to experience something they normally wouldn't be able to, no matter what it is, can be infinitely more rewarding. I've bought a long OOP CD for well over 300$ and shared it with some people. Even if I reduced its value this way (according to you, ilef) and would get less money from a later sale: Dude, I could not care less; there's more than money out there. Am I proud because I own a few "rare" CDs that others don't have? No. It's nice to have them, yes. I like japanese CDs, I like Obis, I like the effort they sometimes put in their packaging and in general it's neat to have some of my favorite music in physical form. But the feeling of satisfaction because you own something that others don't: Boy, that's so wrong. For artists/publishers, sharing of OOP albums is non-destructive at worst. At best, it can make someone like stuff by a particular artist enough to pay for a future release. I'm sorry for my wording, I'm not sorry for my opinion. Sometimes, when enough feces accumulates, I just can't hold back. |

Why are you turning this into an argument for buying vs. downloading vs. rarity vs. etc. etc. etc.? This isn't an argument. Read the first post.

If you want lossless albums, please respect the privacy and have the courtesty to not private message people asking them to rip lossless albums. It's rude, it's disrespectful and it's downright annoying. This is coming from someone who had to put his entire collection in a "Own (DO NOT MESSAGE ME FOR LOSSLESS RIPS)" folder to stop getting private messaged. You can find lossless rips and people who support lossless trading elsewhere. This is not a site where you can exploit the fact that people want to show off their collections or catalog their collections to find people with albums you want. |

Also, it's the nature of any good conversation to evolve and go slightly off-topic, but if you really wanted to steer the topic back on track, you didn't have to go through the whole "I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT DO NOT MESSAGE ME FOR LOSSLESS RIPS" bit again, you could have just said so. |

Just to return slightly on-topic, with the file trading matters, I'll admit publicly that I privately shared stuff on here... And, just for everyone's amusement, do you want to know what kind of answers I've got?: Quote:
If some of you are THAT concerned with the above crap, I've something to tell you folks, with all the hatred I'm capable of: Go fuck yourselves & good luck with tracking down the original, mint, copies of the album(s). That way you'll be sure to get your effingly-fine lossless rips. I walked the sharing-is-caring way, but I've stopped and turned around since my efforts do not obviously please the audience. I'm NOT sorry for my words, as well as NOT sorry for what I'm - not - doing anymore. I tried to be nice, and all I've got was shit & ungratefulness. Fine. You've showed me that you don't deserve digital copies of what I own, fellow VGM fans, but don't be too sad: some of you at least deserve every last pixel of these characters.

Cool it down, everyone. It isn't possible for there to be a resolution to this argument.

There's unfortunately nothing that can be done to prevent people from cataloging their downloaded music and I'm not really in any position to preach about the merits or demerits of it, but since this site isn't built on file trading or sharing music (just cataloging), the administration cordially requests you mark those kinds of folders/catalogs as private so you don't promote the kind of behavior noted above. |

Yeah perhaps you should change it slightly to emphasize that legally obtained digital albums (or versions in the case of both being available), such as the all the stuff in my own lists, are fine to list.
