Haha, nice topic Sai xD
1. Do you feel like you are entitled to free music? If you do, why? If you don't, why not?
Well, I wouldn't say I am entitled to free music, but I like it. Especially for bands I have never heard of or some I'm not sure of. I think it is especially important for visual kei bands to share, or else I would be like...Lycaon....Lycaon who? Meji-what? EH?!
2. How do you feel about people refusing to share their music because they want to support the band?
Fucking retarded, because I share music and support the band. But hey everyone is entitled to do what they want. Just stop flaunting you have something and don't want to share, that's annoying. 'Oh I'm sorry you love this band but are broke as hell, too bad! It is SOOOO amazing!' Nuh-uh.
3. In relation to the second question, what do you think of people who tell others not to share something they themselves paid money for as they think its content is exclusively for those who paid for it?
It doesn't make any sense to me. In my opinion if you buy something it is yours and you can do what you want with it. I think people just like to feel superior and feel 'closer' to the band. But I mean if you don't want to share, by all means don't. Just don't make a big fucking deal out of it. Because you know what, the people sharing that shit also paid money for it.
4. Do you think entitlement to free music is worse in visual kei than in other communities?
Hell yes, *looking at you Nocturnal Butthurt*
5. How do you feel about people who deliberately share releases in low bitrates to encourage you to buy the CD? Do you think that if someone does decide to share, you're entitled to the highest rip?
I think that is also stupid, when I buy something I upload it in mp3 only because my internet sucks ass. But if people want lossless I will do it (It takes forever guys, for reals lol). If I download something, even in the highest quality, and I love it, I will definitely buy it.
6. Have you ever been approached by people, either on Monochrome Heaven or last.fm, who wanted you to share something? If you didn't want to share, how did they react? What did you think of their reaction?
I have never wanted to not share something, that seems rude. My mommy taught me to share xD
Sorry I was still upset when I wrote this, I could have probably voiced my opinions with less vulgarity.
