Maybe, if it were convenient. Won't be though, so it's not something I've considered at length. They went after the archives though, and I think the entire concept of paying for media should take any hit that can be issued in retaliation.
"Some media company sued the Internet archive so now I'm not paying any artists for their work or the media I consume" is entitled bullshit. Esp after acknowledging many struggle to pay rent.
Burn your CDs and listen to the silence. Maybe a thought will wander through your skull-cavern
That's an awfully defeatist way of looking at it, IMO.
Do you, in the grocery store, grab every brand of pasta and figure out protein:carb:$ ratios manually, every time you walk down the aisle, or do you just decide whether you want pasta or not, and throw some in your bag if you do?
If the former, do you do this for every single thing in the store? How many hours does it take you every single time?
