OH dear,
I`m not here to save money. I`m here to enjoy my lovely roots music. When I decided to collect I knew it`s an expensive hobby. No need to cry about the costs. When I started listening to Reggae, there were not even CDs.
I don`t like that mp3 sound. I`m not a computer kid who needs to own thousands of files.
A real vinyl record can be looked at, it can be touched, sleeve notes can be read and much more. For me, mp3 is something an-organic, seen, sth. dead.
Records have their own aura which you can feel and hear.
Keep the vinyl alive!
Blessed,
I-Lion

Actually vinyl is for life. But only life as it is gradually being eaten away by microbes and they take about 100 years to lunch on an LP, so I am told!
From what I gather, the lady punished in the US courts for sharing was not charging. Very few sharers are 'real' pirates, they're just petty thieves.

downloading out of print singles/albums should not be considered as piracy in my opinion. if you buy them at second hand records shops or ebay, artists, producers, labels etc ... don't get a euro anyway.

Good point Seb.
Or maybe music should be like written work, which goes completely out of copyright after a certain period?

I do burn some music/music data cds from my friends' collections and in case I like what I've heard, I simply do and buy the actual record. Otherwise it feels like I cannot enjoy the music at full volume, you know? This in my case saves some money, as I avoid buying crap records.
