People Copying Your Music Collection

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

So I had 100 gbs of (fairly hard to find) music that I've slowly collected over the past four years at college. The other day a friend of mine asked to copy it to an external drive and I agreed. Now I feel sick to my stomach and I can't seem to stop hating my friend. Is this simple greed?

in answer to your question, it might be even worse than simple greed. might not.

It's not greed, it's the fear that your friend will use your music collection to impress girls without crediting you and giving you first option.

I think your sickness comes from the speed with which he took the stuff. you felt that you had put a lot of time and effort into something worth while, perhaps your goal being to attract people to you with the diversity and depth of your collection. Now he has this thing that you invested so much into, and you feel that investment devalued. Try spending the time on something that no one can take with a metal box and a firewire cable. Not that I can talk, I be a downloading, layabout mutherfucker.

a former roommate of mine who'd burned a buncha music from me had her car broken into a few weeks ago and CDs were stolen. so she hands me a piece of paper with like 10 things she would like for me to burn again. and i agreed, cuz i was sorry she'd had shit stolen. but i'm broke and haven't been able to purchase more CDRs (i've got a component burner, thus the CDRs are more expensive [it's a racket, i think] than the data CDRs for computers). then the other night i see her out and she asks if i've heard the new interpol and i say "nah" and she says she could BURN it for me, obviously hinting that i've flaked on her or something. sheesh.

I don't think anyone anywhere gives a SHIT about what anyone else likes, except to the extent that it overlaps with their own taste. "Oh, you like 311? Me too! And here's what else I like ... "

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

The appearance that your friend was able to gain everything you had worked so hard for at a miniscule fraction of the effort is somewhat deceiving. You have 100gb of music that you like and is meaningful to you - that you have associations with and a context for. Your friend now has 100gb of music that you like and is meaningful to you - without any of the associations or context. Chances are it will not be nearly as valuable to your friend as it is to you.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)

since i transfered everything to a external hd, i've had several people copy all 200 gigs to their own drives. i never felt the slightest twinge of guilt -- these people are friends, and we've always shared music. guy's just a wee bit selfish, methinks.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

"You're" ach, I'm getting worse.

Seriously though, it does depend on the music. Despite what I said above, my last gf was very into soul and funk and dance some folk and what have you and loved hearing the records I had that fitted into that. And I loved hearing hers. I suppose it wouldn't be going too far to say we were impressed with each other's music collections.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, I wouldn't call it greed. You may be resentful as you put in the hours and your friend is reaping the rewards in comparatively very short order, but if he was suitably grateful for it, I'd let it go. I mean...perhaps you're putting too much stock into the methods of your music acquisition. Perhaps instead of feelilng sick to your stomach, you should feel good about yourself for sharing. Now, if this guy goes around appropriating your inherent coolness for seeking this stuff out in the first place by saying he's "been into Amon Dull (or whomever) for years, man", that ultimately makes him a dick and a poser, but otherwise, just feel good about spreading the gospel of good, different, challenging, interesting music. There's one less goon in the world who will listen to Nickelback. Pat yourself on the back for that, pilgrim.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

100gbs = 1000

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 14:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Eeep. I think you need the long years of collecting this stuff in order to be able to properly digest it anyhow.

a friend of mine recently got an ipod and borrowed a lot (100+) of cds to rip and put on it. he also ripped all of his cds and sold or gave away the lot. i like the idea of removing the physical burden of having all of that music. dunno if i could do it myself though.

100GB of music isn't really that much. it's around 1000 albums i think.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Ned said it above, but I like it when people want to 'borrow' or 'rip' or 'copy' from my collection. It means (a) at least we'll now be able to discuss the numerous merits of, say, Theatre of Hate or Naked Raygun and (b) maybe in turn they will similarly pass on that music and further spread the word that, say, Skeleton Key rock a helluva lot harder and in a much more interesting way than, say, fuckin' Slipknot.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 14:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Disclaimer: I should mention that I have more than 1500 CDs, too, but I am nearly 30 and make you know real money, unlike most college kids.

do we know that the 21-year-old has 1000 cds or does he just have 100 gigs of mp3s? cuz those could be acquired via any number of means...

wtf some of y'all are way too posessive about this. YOU didn't make the music. They aren't stealing it from you. I think whoever said the pangs of guilt were because of being over-invested in accumulating all that music was OTM. All you did was find it, in a store, online, wherever. Anyone, whether I've known them for 5 minutes or my whole life, is welcome to copy any or all of my music collection.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

The whole problem with all this, and with the larger downloading debate, is the underlying sense of entitlement people seem to have.

File sharing, especially en masse, is not really socialism at all, it's just "I deserve free stuff for no good reason."

If you feel you need mass-produced music, you are implicitly affirming support of a capitalist product. It's not just that the artists need money to live, it also took money to record, produce, package, distribute, and even market that music (so that you got a chance to hear it). If you have such a problem with this, don't listen to the music. You can live without it.

So then charge them for it. Would that make you feel better?

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 18:26 (twenty-one years ago)

(I was trying to make the point that once they copy it, the music is still there for you, not that they aren't getting free music)

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 18:27 (twenty-one years ago)

wtf some of y'all are way too posessive about this. YOU didn't make the music.
This is irrelevant. Just because you didn't build your car with your bare hands doesn't mean that everyone else should feel free to drive it.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 18:33 (twenty-one years ago)

No, THAT is irrelevant, cause usually when someone borrows your car, you are not able to drive it while they are doing so. It's not an accurate comparison.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Cause if I could copy my car and give that copy to someone else, why the fuck wouldn't I?

I'm just shocked that 21 year olds have a thousand CDs mostly.

This has probably been done to death but I'm too lazy to read the thread.

I had a friend from high school who spent all of his extra money on CDs. At one point in college, he got a part-time job in a record store so that he could buy more CDs AND get a discount. He had something on the order of 1750 CDs by the time we were 21 and has continued buying at the same rate in the ensuing 10 years; I think he's got something like 8000 now.

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

If you have a job in hs or college (and therefore don't have "adult"-type bills) and you don't smoke, drink much, or waste much on other drugs, you'll have a lot to spend on something like cds.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I appreciate the fact that you're playing devil's advocate, oops, and I agree with your scarcity point. Have a little sympathy for us oldtimers who are still a bit shocked & disoriented at the disjunct between the ease of copying over a hard drive with the (tens of) thousands and dollars and hours spent over many years previously required to amass an individual collecion.

And keep in mind that your 'generosity' is entirely at someone else's expense if not yours. I have CDs of my own on the market, and although I'm certainly happy when I see my stuff is on soulseek, I am not _entirely_ happy, you know.

This has nothing to do with the thread at hand. I'm not getting into the morality of filesharing and the like. I don't think the negative feelings articulated in the opening post and other subsequent ones result from them feeling guilty that the artists/bands are not being properly compensated.

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

― (Jon L), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 19:31 (twenty-one years ago)

(The funny thing is that this particular friend most certrainly smoked and drank and, um, did some other things, yet still had mounds and mounds of CDs. Hell, once I got a job I started amassing an amazing CD collection; I think I got up to 1100 before thinking "OKAY BUDDY SLOW DOWN THERE")

― Dan Perry '08 (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

No, THAT is irrelevant, cause usually when someone borrows your car, you are not able to drive it while they are doing so.
The feeling of ownership is main point though. The unease people are expressing on this thread wrt letting others copy their music has nothing to do with convenience. It's the feeling that the person who copies is acquiring something 1000X easier than the person from whom they copied.

Similarly, if you don't want to lend somebody your car, it may have little to do with whether or not you were planning on using it yourself that day and everything to do with the effort you spent on finding it, buying it, and fixing it up just the way you like it.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes I understand that, and while I don't think it's an accurate comparison, I still hate fuckers that are reluctant to lend out their cars, too. (This generally has a lot to do with the possibility of the loanee damaging the car, something that isn't possible with copying one's music. Just another reason it's not a fair comparison)

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Fair enough, the comparison is far from perfect, but again, I wanted to draw attention to the possessiveness (?is this a word?) that people feel about their music by referencing another, highly "material" possession.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah I never was trying to argue that possessiveness wasn't the main cause of such feelings, just that, in general but even moreso in this instance, it's a pretty juvenile and egotistical response.
It's really hard to make a fair comparison with this and any other possession. What else of yours can just be copied with such relative ease? Would you (I don't know who I'm addressing here...) let someone photocopy all your books?

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Something about obtaining 2,000 CDs worth of music in one day is depressing. Obviously this is all heading toward wireless on-demand music and that is more palatable for some reason. I guess if you "own" the CDs you feel compelled to "know" them, and that'll take forever.

― Mark (MarkR), Tuesday, 5 October 2004 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

well, it was useful to have all that music around when i no longer had any money and couldn't afford to buy new music.

post-college I had close to 2500 CDS. I worked in high school and in college, got some money given to me for college and was lucky enuf to not have too many expenses so almost all of my income went towards music. Also, I ran a concert series in college and knew lots of ppl in music so got lots of freebies and bought lots of used CDS. I sold about 2000 of them at one point when I had quit my job, could not find another and run through my savings. I so wish mp3s and massive hard drives had existed then.

a few months ago a friend, now living in indonesia, was visiting. Right before she went there she bought an Ipod and grabbed lots of music from her San Francisco friends and when she was here we went somewhere for lunch, stayed there thru evening just dumping music of mine onto her system. I get regular mesages from her about how much she loves having stuff she knows and does not know from all of us pop up randomly and what a thrill it is. That makes me happy, and as pointed out above - you get to have backups with people.

My brother, not the music junkie that I am, was going to DJ for the first time, and he thought it was ok to take all the music from my painfully, carefully collected Diego-Valladolid-favourite-music-for-parties folder. With all the rare, hard to find mp3s that I KNEW, and nobody else did, were secret floorfillers. Plus he was a way better DJ than I was.

I had a friend who wanted to dump an ipod full of stuff onto my hard drive a while ago, while she was between PCs, and it's still there. It makes up about 10% of my overall collection. And I never listen to any of it, it's completely meaningless to me. In fact, I should just delete it really. Hell, I'm going to do. Right now!

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 09:04 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a pretty wide selection of stuff. It's not that I don't listen to it because it's all rubbish, or anyhting, It's just cos it's not really got anything to do with me. I think music I like, I like because a) I've heard about it and wanted to get hear it. b) somebody has specifically given it to me, thinking I'd like it. Or c) I've heard it around and it's got a significance to me based on when and where I heard it. This stuff doesn't fit into any of those categories though, so just doesn't mean anything to me.

Oh. I have a few hundred tracks from of other ILMers' favourite ever tracks from that MP3 CDR swap that went on a while ago.
