Re: oink is a sound a pig makes

Yeah, I'm back. Couldn't let it go... FYI, those guys get paid when they create a program. They don't get a commission based on how many people buy the program. No, but if no one buys the program because everyone steals it, the company goes out of business and those guys are out of a job. You really...

Depending on what you're shopping for, this:

might be of help.

I found it to be an invaluable resource when I used to do a lot of online shopping for computer components. Haven't used it in a while, though.

The Next Controversial Thread

I'm all burnt out on the piracy discussion, so here's a new piece of hypothetical kindling: What if the announcement came down that SMMD was now the permanent configuration and the Slip became an occasional side gig? I find myself falling ever more and more in love with the magic generated by this c...

Please, don't apologize. This is my favorite post of the entire thread and a question I am not qualified to answer.

Re: oink is a sound a pig makes

Anyway, would Jah approve of stealing someone else's art? He just might, Hoby, he just might. Nah, I just checked in with him and he said "Definitely NOT." What I mainly steal are computer programs That's cool, then, 'cause computer programmers don't need to eat. As far as stealing music,...

since i'm not on oink anymore, i can't check it, but typically a cd doesn't get snatched more than 1000 times or so, right? what i mean is, it's not 100,000 or 50,000 times. not that it makes any difference, as far as making it right or wrong. i'm just saying those aren't the numbers. OK, thanks. I...

Re: oink is a sound a pig makes

Prove to me that you buy concert tickets and t-shirts for every artist whose music you steal. The only people I have to prove something to is myself and Jah. That's funny, you don't look Rastafarian. (That was a joke. See, here's my smiley :lol: ) Anyway, would Jah approve of stealing someone else'...

Re: oink is a sound a pig makes

When I want to get some instrumental rap shit to spin/cut to, I go to OINK. When I want to get a CD that I can't find at the library, I OINK that shit. When I need a music program, like Logic Express, Recycle, etc., holy shit, guess who has it? OINK. And I don't have to pay hundreds for it. And I d...

Mr Matazz, The Marantz stuff has been a workhorse of field journalism for years and that's what it's geared for. More spoken word, interview type stuff than music. Yes, their units tend to be built to take field abuse. Don't know anything about their digital stuff except that they're talking about l...
