The personal drone would cost ~150$, btw.



I've read that that would be like a declaration of war, but I'm not too sure if it would be, nor against whom this war would be :3


The boys over at D-Link are real smart.

The $150 makes you know they make money on it, but it's still cheap enough to justify the benefits.

Even if it is a declaration of war against some country, it's not like the US would leave a sign saying it was them.

A lot of songs are 2-3$. 1$ would be fair pricing imo.

The cost really isn't the issue i have.

If i want to support a musician with my money, i will give them my money directly, i don't buy it through a service that gives them a small percentage of the profits.

Yea, I agree.

The services often take way too much money.
10-30% is okay, but the rest SHOULD go to the artist. (Steam takes 30% per game sold, but compensates with loads of nice community, usability and modding features)

Cool idea! Too bad I got a good job and can buy my own software/music/services. ^_^



Pirating spreads awareness about an artist, but a majority of that crowd is going to pirate the whole album + more instead of actually spending money on purchasing songs. The ends somewhat justify the means, but pirating usually leaves the artist with less food on their plate then it would if people actually bought the music. But it's okay, you guys can't really afford this stuff anyways so I don't blame you for being cheap. :V
