My horribly compulsive obsession to steal music has again gotten me in trouble. No, I have not been contacted by the RIAA; I ran out of disk space... again. I've managed to fill up a 350 GB drive with tunes and have splurged on a monolithic, black Western Digital terabyte. And thus begins a ridiculous period of reorganization and deletion (something I should probably do before buying a new drive).
The shutdown of OiNK was probably a blessing in disguise as my rampant leeching/seeding was starting to get a little silly. At least I am very good about listening to (nearly) everything I download, but there are probably at least 30 GB floating around that have not seen the darkness of my earholes.
I don't have download guilt. I go see bands. I pay covers (sometimes). I buy the stuff I like and delete the garbage. I let musicians stay at my house. I buy them drinks at shows. I've been in a touring band. I know the routine. I don't see anything wrong with downloading albums before they are released to the public. I make my amends.
So fire up Azureus! I've got hard drive space!
