Heya lovelies.

I'm not feeling too good today and I'm sore. I feel really guilty because when I was out yesterday my friend made me eat and I still feel really guilty and I'm still suffering the after effects of it.

I'm watching Friends to cheer myself up as it hardly ever fails, and I'm going to get another cuppa in a moment as I need caffeine.lol.

I hope everyone is having a good day.

I received my new polka dot skirt today and it's a perfect fit. I received my new skater jeans too. Ebay is my friend.lol.

I don't spend vast amounts of money though. I am quite good with my finances and save up money just in case anything does happen and I need emergency money for things. I only buy clothes and other luxuries when I have a spare bit of money lying around, however rare that is.

Hugs and sparkles.

Some people just have to have the last word. :rolleyes:

How are you today hun?

weegie.geek

Yeah, I'm ok. Watching last night's Jericho so that'll keep me occupied for 42 minutes.

I've got a pile of washing to do, and housework, and ugh. I hope the neighbours are in the mood for some Arab Strap...

What about you? How's the head?

Cool.

I only have to do the washing up. But I can't be bothered. .lol.

I'm not too good. My head is better though. My back, however, isn't.lol.

I have a quick question? Is downloading music via p2p illegal if you own the CD but the CD is broken?

I am so random...

The problem with P2P is that as you're downloading something you're uploading it to other people. So even if it WAS ok to download the album as a replacement to a damaged physical copy, you'd be facilitating piracy to people who potentially haven't paid for the music.

There are a few loopholes to get yourself free music legally though. You can even get paid for it.

If you sign up for a trial of eMusic you get 25 tracks free. If you cancel before the end of the trial period and don't download more than 25 tracks you won't get charged.

If you sign up through quidco they'll pay you £4 for signing up for the trial too, which is nice.

You can sign up for multiple trials (and, I think, multiple £4 quidco rebates) if you've got more than one card. It works with 3V cards as well.

The quality's better than most of the crap on P2P (bar perhaps the stuff that's leaked from the scene) and there's no chance of some anti-piracy company logging your IP etc.

Thanks for that.
I wasn't sure if it was legal or not. I think I may just buy another copy of the CD. I like having a proper hard copy with sleeve notes.

I'm the opposite, I gave away all my CDs. I can't be arsed with putting discs back in boxes, storing them, taking them with me when I move flat, etc.
