The Harmony-Out: Rasgrez wants to make believe with you~

[Sprung]

They clinched a playoff birth, not the division.

Oh yeah. This too.

[Sheik]

OK.
Next pirate phase I go through, Alestorm will be the music backing my ambitions.
Must find cheap copies of their album.

Why buy when you can pirate?

[Gypsy]

Oh yeah. This too.

Yeah, Sheras was correct.

@sword: $8-10 shipped each is around what you'd want to pay.

Dunno.
Just feels wrong to rob talent of their hard earned money....
but I'll get over it

Perfect.
I got a bit of cash just for such a purchase.

Humourously enough the first copy of Black Sails At Midnight got was one of those leaked by the company/band releases where they talk over the songs a bit and the guy says, "and remember, piracy is a crimmmme".

Just think of it as free digitally distributed media.

No argument there.
*Hits up Google for album torrents*

On that note, my googlefu has discovered their discography in one nifty torrent. Nifty.

Praise the Sun!

Praise the Sun!

I heard Icarus was a martyr for the cause

Bands (Big ones anyways) don't make as much off the record sales as the record labels themselves do. I was at a Art of Dying concert and the lead singer was like "How many of you guys torrent our albums?" (Everyone cheers) "That's cool man we could care less. The label gets a majority of the money from album sales. But hey if you want to support us go to the merch tent afterwards and buy something. Even something as small as a bumper sticker to show your support"

All that money at least you know goes directly to the band.

Exactly. There are quite a few bands that just make their albums available for free on their website. I remember Sigur Ros doing this with one of their newer albums.

I think I've heard about that, they make like a small percentage off every album or some BS of that trend. Bastards.
Plus that band sounds awesome.

I mean the record labels for being in their pockets and shit.
