Also, I don't download AMVs for the music, I do it so I can watch them. Also, the sound quality is actually pretty good. As for it being stealing... isn't using it in the AMV and letting people download it stealing also?

If you *really* can't find a CD when you want to buy it, there's this magical, mystical place called the Internet. I'm sure you've heard of it, but there are these things called "websites" that allow you to electronically transfer money in return for goods and services, including CDs.

Keep in mind that most editors purchase CDs to rip the music they use in their videos, thus supporting the artists to some degree. If you like the artists you listen to, you should support them too.

I really don't see a point in ripping off music from hard working people. Just imagine taking away part of your paycheck. I know that it would hurt me! As for this site, I've bought 3 anime full-seasons (NGE,Chobits,ChronoCrusade) and 7 CD's just from seeing this site, so I think it is not only a beautiful site for AMV, but also a killer advertisement site.

Ditto. One reason I believe the anime industry puts up with us is because of the publicity that gets generated from the videos. I've several times said "Hey, that looks awesome!" and bought an anime after seeing a clip of it.

Hay, I know, GET A JOB, A CREDIT CARD, AND A NET CONNECTION, You're 1/3 the way there, and any moron can open a bank account and get a check card.

Again, I am ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS broke. I have no job, and believe me when I say no one would hire me anyway. If I HAD the money to support said artists, I'd buy every album they ever made (providing it didn't suck). And unless any of YOU are gonna give me money, I don't think I'll be able to buy ANYTHING anytime soon! I don't even get an allowance. And don't start going on about "saving my money for thing" because I can't save what I never have to begin with!

Where do you get those things? Anyway, I know other people who do the same thing I do. It's in my opinion that if ripping the music off of an AMV isstealing, so is downloading the AMV itself, as the AMV has the track in it anyway. I'm not trying to justify anything here, I just wanted to know everyones opinion on this. I don't want anyone (especially myself) to be insulted over anything. If we could be mature about this, please? As much as I'd like to buy the CDs, I can't. Let's leave it at that.

my opinion is that until you write a good reason why you think its not wrong other then your supposed empty pockets and the neo nazi employers im inclined to think that its not right.
