I just tricked a band into giving me a free album LOL

They announced on facebook today- anyone who has ordered copies of our new album and would like a digital download in the meantime, emails us at.....

So I sent them an email and they just sent me the link to the page with a password to retrieve the download- They didn't even check to see if I did actually buy it or not!

:2thumbsup:

 

ok...

 

oh sna yap
youre on your way

 

^lolwut?

 

You're a bad person.

Wanna send me a PM? :mickey:

 

Well... maybe they don't mind giving out free copies anyway. A lot of new bands like the publicity. If not it's their fault for not checking. It's not really that good an album anyway, I already listened to it.

 

well it's not like I HAVE to listen to it...

It's ok.. just better stuff out there I'd rather listen to

 

My CD collection is filled with shit from random local bands from everywhere I've lived. I'd always buy em because I'd be drunk at a club they'd play at and think they kicked ass. Play them a week later uhhh... I'd buy shirts too. Not many people can boast a "Cheese and Crackwhores" tour shirt in their closet.

 

Is that what happened at the Grateful Dead too??....

 

Alas I only caught the dead once... They kinda bore me live anyway. I like their studio albums more.

 

I feel like that after Roger Waters The Wall. While it was nice to get see the concert. it kinda bored me, not as intimate as the album and there was no David Gilmour./.

 

I try to catch acts that have something to prove. It's cheaper anyway.

 

who was the band?

 

that's no trick. many bands have freebees on their own websites. their own web sites. not facebook, twitter, joes online cd store, et all. par lay view "their own web sites"? capish? claro?

 

Why not just say it's a free download then?

 

because we live in a culture where not conning each other all the time is unimaginable. (until we stop buying into brainwashing ourselves as a form of entertainment)

also bragging about screwing someone for trying to be decent sound a whole lot of assinign. it sort of doesn't really encourage people to BE decent. does it?

 

Did I post the name of the band, with the link and the password? No...

I only did it to see if they would fall for it anyway. I really fail to see how I screwed them over.

If I go into HMV and say I paid for an album yesterday, and they just hand over a copy to me without checking, that's their fault. You can't say that I conned them, it's their bad for not checking.

 

Damn, thats an awesome band name. Almost as cool as Sister Fister

 

i just wanna know who the band is... i torrent albums all the time getting free music i thought is completely and utterly normal in this day and age.... even when i first started wanting CDs 10 years ago i had software on my computer to download music (napster) and burn it to CD.
