Butalbital Does It Help?

Closing Don 't Speak Good Websites

After having left the blog for a long time, I decided to write a few lines about what is happening on the law "the closure of sites."
My personal opinion and the actions I'm taking personally for a long time.

About the music:
Since very little, I've been a consumer of music almost compulsive. I bought my tapes and my vinyl and my home, almost always were made. Enjoying the music as anyone.
was within reach of my pocket. They were of different prices but I remember going to my usual record shop could be found some vinyl to 695 pesetas (which was not new) and new works of the bands that I liked it could quietly pay 995 pesetas or 1495 pesetas (I put the exact prices because I still have those disks with the price set or the ticket purchase.)
was all a "ritual" placantero that going to the store, go shopping and go back home loaded with one or two vinyl looking forward to them and enjoy them.
recall with nostalgia the time. I miss them. A lot.
The other day, checking my vinyl collection, I noticed a detail in all that once went unnoticed by me, and that these present times and all that is happening, and not overlooked if you wanted. This is the hallmark of the SGAE in each of them.
I also remember that as a group out his new job, stayed several colleagues to go together to buy it. Maybe we were five friends all bought the same disc. Happier than the host we back each one with ours. We did not think about it a lot of "buy one, and others recorded it." No.
Eye, that does not mean that we did not, rarely paying close to us and we played back, yes! but it was very common.
Entering the mid-nineties, she started getting "fashion" the CD.
We "sold the bike," saying the audio quality was never heard and it was perfect. A compact disc with superior sound quality. Then the industry began to take on CD all that I already had in the format "to extinction." Of course, as the audio quality was much higher, prices should also be right?.
Those that had cost me 695 pesetas on CD now worth 1995 pesetas. We put on the cover the kind of quality they had these new copies, "AAD", "ADD", "DDD." But it did not matter, although the quality was "AAD" the price remained the same. We propet the CDs were "immortal." Not grated ... "Forget about the annoying breaks" read some ads (a goddamned thing!).
Oops, this band has recorded a new album, we will buy it ... I show up at the store and ADIOS! 2995 pesetas.
Well, I like this group and buy it, but I can not buy more until my pocket is not recovered in a stabbing.
I think that was the beginning of the end of my usual musical consumption. If I remember correctly, after that stabbing, I had to make one or two visits per month to my music store to make a visit every two or three months.
The sound of these CDs, to me, did not reach the quality it promised. Maybe I was and am too "picky" but I could not convince me at all. Still, still buying it because it was increasingly difficult to find on vinyl.
was a long time between visits to the store and another, (my pocket and resented the prices) and to my amazement, they had gone all the vinyls. There were only a few CDs and tapes.
Now began the "I buy a CD and saves them to my colleagues or I buy one and we recorded it all." There was no much money to keep up with purchases we had (and that they no longer depended on the pay of our parents, but that it worked and we had our own salary, much higher than those paid weekly.)
Before I knew it , had been years since my last purchase in my local store.
never returned. I got the library at his disposal (and still have) and go. Cosume new music stopped. Only one or two CDs every few years which is when my favorite artists were recording their new jobs, but that's it.
Today, the last CD I bought was about a year ago.
What if I downloaded music from the internet? Of course. Music you already had and wanted to spend my mp3. Albums I've heard before on CD buy if I did not like. Albums that did not even have and then not have kept, either because of laziness or because I did not like the sound quality they brought.
The music industry has "killed" the enthusiasm I was very young for music, taking the same albums, compilations, etc, trying to buy time and again the same but each time at a higher price, and on top fool me.
It was a "revenge" or "punishment" simply took away the desire to continue shopping, continue to consume (buy, recording or downloading, anyway). I lost interest.
There is much talk of closing exchange sites, that if the music is threatened by piracy, etc, etc. The blame, according to some is by illegal downloading, in my opinion and my personal experience was because as I said, killed the interest in music consumption. At least I did.
In recent days, I have the illusion of music again. NO, I have not gone crazy. After
get my hands on my old vinyl and go looking at them with nostalgia, I decided to buy a turntable, connect it to my home theater and enjoy this new format.
I bought this specifically.

Buying more? Of course. Return to consume, buy records again, but on vinyl. ORIGINAL. Yes, buy them second hand. Drives that once did not buy for some reason now is the time to be with them.
There is still some stores where to find these relics. On the internet there are many people selling your vinyl and I would buy it. Just do not at any price. Pay a fair price that I can estimate. There are many offers and I can choose the one that suits me.
Ultimately, I plan to return to have enthusiasm for music. In one day revive him, killed the music industry. Of course, the industry does not catch you even a single euro, only receive my money people like music I bought and consumed with the same enthusiasm and for some reason, want to get rid of their albums.
With film spends more of the same. When I was little, my father took me to the movies. I went in very excited. I went to see movies like Superman, Piranha, Shark, some of Bud Spencer and Cantinflas (Damn that old I am).
was going to a one-room movies. Embobao I was looking at that HUGE screen in front of me, watching Bud Spencer hosts divided right and left. When I walked attracted my attention that smell. I do not know how to describe it, but it was something magical. You could buy popcorn and those Toblerone that drove me crazy.
As time passed, the films were getting better, prices. We return to business as usual, PRICES.
prices were rising as the foam and as incomprehensible, the screens were shrinking. Funny thing right? Cinema screens were becoming smaller. We sold the super
THX sound, Dolby Surround and everything imaginable, but the screens were still smaller. Shopping centers with 10 or 12 rooms and a minĂºscilas screens compared with those I remember from yesteryear. Increasingly smaller rooms in turn. Higher prices also.
The issue seems to be related. We offer less for more money.
Before going to the movies an average of once or twice a month, and now, to give you an idea, today, the last movie I saw in theaters was "88 minutes" (It has rained).
Same with video stores.
Almost without realizing it, let's go, let's buy. Things you did usually stop them. Take away the desire.
You end up saying I can not keep that pace but I still see movies. Try to see one for the TV (when thrown some worthwhile) but ends with despair as much publicity. I can not get to see a movie two hours at 22:00 and finish watching it at 1:30 or 2:00 in the morning .. That desperate to anyone. Raisins
from VHS to DVD and soon you want to impose another format. I refuse to have to buy another unit for XXX dollars and buy back the movies I already had on VHS and DVD that I bought in and now intend to sell Blu-ray. The same but more expensive.
Yes, improves picture quality and audio, but not always. There are a lot of sloppy out there. The theme is to sell over and over again the same.
comes the famous canon. Canon for any storage format, but no matter if you're going to burn your photos or you're going to copy a movie. Also pay this fee.
want to close sites that link to downloads of movies, music, games, etc, but saying that if they do that, no longer charge a fee.
I totally agree on p2p sharing NON-PROFIT, but one thing I have to admit, I still have not come across a website that does not have such advertising. I do not care SEA TO KEEP HOSTING, DOMAIN OR ANYTHING. If you decide to create a website for sharing or p2p link to material, you assume the responsibility to pay what you use (hosting, domains, etc) and if not, do not do it, nobody forces you.
To me that is no excuse.

In short:

I refuse to pay again and again for the same prices that I think are unfair.
I refuse to pay EUR 60 to the 7th game, however good it is.
I refuse to go to the movies and pay 8 or 9 euros for a movie screen in a room and ridiculous to me then feel cheated when you sell the trailer one way and the end is crap.
I refuse to pay 25 or 30 euros for a film on DVD or Blu-ray.

If I can I download it from internet, and if the day comes you can not do and the prices are the same, because as I stopped consuming music, I'll do so with other things.
This is about "collateral damage." If I can not download Internet material either free or at a fair price for what I need my high speed ADSL? Nothing
to browse and check my mail I do not need much. If they try to force me to have a lot of bandwidth or anything, it will choose nothing. And without that, what I want to buy mp3, mp4, hard drives as large, multimedia, etc. I need not, so do not buy it. If you do not buy games
at a fair price and to me I can not pin down, will not buy consoles. So in all, a virtually endless chain.

Therefore, in my opinion, not worth all free, but do not try to cheat me with those prices, because they do not pay and try to get (if I want) as cheaply as possible, and if that means FREE, for what will download for free.

PS: After the death of Michael Jackson (for instance), some fanatics want to get rich at their expense, since the other day, looking on ebay vinyl, I found many discs selling at exorbitant prices. I got to see one another for 60,000 €. Are we 've gone crazy or what? You can check here .
And that kind of people will have the holy hell of complaining about the price of music and put it as an excuse to download everything in internet.

PD2: Sorry for the piece of billet and how to write. I realize I have mixed issues jumping from one to another almost without realizing it. Sorry for the mess and expressions. Is that between I'm not very good at writing and do so with two children reboloteando around me and trying to order some things go well.

Greetings to the few that I may read.
