Hip album leak. - WesleyC. - 03-25-2009
Uh I must confess, I had the urge to download it but I DID NOT!!!! Can someone see if this can get shut down. Its really not right to have ppl downloading it for free. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4789105/we_are_the_same_tragically_hip-----____harris">http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4789105 ... ____harris</a><!-- m -->

What do you want people to do? Take it up with Pirate Bay yourself if it bothers you that much.
I think its a little late anyways, half the people on here already have it.
And someone correct me if Im wrong but as far as I know its perfectly legal to download music in Canada from p2p networks and make copies of cds and share them, as long as no money is involved.
Thats why they have levies on blank cds in Canada.
In the US its still illegal I believe.

Your kidding me, Half the people on here already have it.
Here I am thinking the right thing to do would be NOT to download it.
Ah well.
Mabey I will go download it but im still gonna buy the LP.

Something almost all of us can agree on.

the half comment is an exaggeration of course, but judging by the reaction on here most of the regular posters seem to have bit the bullet and got the album, how many plan to buy it, I dont know? I most certainly will buy it, I will never not buy a Hip album, but I wanted to hear it and its not illegal for me to do so, so why not? If it was illegal I wouldnt have done it actually. If you have some moral objection good for you, wait till April and have your day in the Sun.
I like to support my favorite artists, every dollar counts I would imagine.

i dont feel so bad about downloading it... since ive pre paid for 2 copies of it already...and well if everyone else is doing it... then why not...
Re: Hip album leak. - NegPhil - 03-25-2009
Ain't it a bitch?
cratch: I will not download it illegal. Sorry, I get the "information wants to be free" thing but the last band in the world I would steal from is The Tragically Hip. I realize it's a bit HIPocritical but it's a bummer that the collective moment we could have shared has been stolen by some jerk who could not be trusted with an advance copy.

Yep! For the labels and distributors!
Some Website Wrote:In the making of a CD here are the key players and the percentage of sales that they get,
Artist (6.6%) Producer (2.2%) Songwriters (4.5%) Distributor (22%) Manufacturing (5%) Retailer (30%) Record label (30%)

It was the best I could find on short notice.
It's perfectly legal for you to listen to the album, by the way - the downloading is the problem. I'm pretty sure Canada doesn't care anymore though.
Re: Hip album leak. - tootragic - 03-25-2009
I also don't feel bad. I buy all of their albums and go to all the concerts I can, and I also buy a lot of merchandise. Truth be told I would buy a Christmas CD if they came out with one. Point being - I will always support this group - they have given me countless hours / years of enjoyment/entertainment that I could never fully repay.
Re: Hip album leak. - Dark Canuck17 - 03-25-2009
Well I already bought two so I get one free :lol:
We should be getting it before everyone else anyway because we are the diehards!
Re: Hip album leak. - Great Waiting List - 03-25-2009
I would never want to ruin the "Have just bought new Hip album and have it in my hands then go and pop it in the cd player and blast it for the first time" feeling. No matter how much I want to hear the album, I can't sacrifice that feeling and experience that we only get to enjoy once every few years.
As you can see Im not downloading it.
Re: Hip album leak. - WesleyC. - 03-25-2009
Ok so call me a lemming, I went and got it and am listening to it right now.
Guess I better go and buy the LP now or im a total shit head.
