    Yeah, and for the audio quality, the mp3 does the job but the real thing is better.

    I was expecting someone to do this one
  4. I have all original releases and a small collection of singles, but I did download some singles. (I refuse to pay $20+ at my local record shop to the "The Saints Are Coming" single, which has only 2 songs on it and the store labels as "IMPORT" so they can charge more for it.)
  5. Unreleased and Rare was probably the only album I downloaded - because it wasn't available through iTunes anymore. Also some B-sides not available anywhere. But all the official DVDs, CDs, singles etc are bought with my own hard-earned.

    I refuse to pay for anything directly from iTunes available as a physical copy - 128Kbps DRM-protected downloads don't do it for me.
  6. I have all U2 Albums officially bought or given as gifts, and most of DVDs (only Boston 01 and POPMart are left) so my U2-conscience is clean. Regarding other artists, me and my family have about 100 vinyls and 250 CDs officially bought, so our conscience is also clean. However, I have downloaded many, many official material. The U2 singles, for example. Or some Beatles albums. Or Mothership, from Led Zeppelin.

    But I do NOT consider it illegal, only "amoral". I have one very near example: my grandfather IS an artist, with his own disc label, etc. and he downloads music from eMule
  7. i own all the official albums,DVDs and most of the singles from Achtung Baby onwards.

    i have downloaded unrealeased and rare and all the b-sindes from the 80's unofficially
