rite sorry maybe im at that stage now or used 2 b there. i'll admit 2 doin it occasionally but not as much as i used 2 n wen i do its ardly ever 4 hardcore (still wrong i know) but its usually 4 a music genre that makes far more money than the hardcore scene.

That store closed down the other month. Just cleared out, locked up and shut. Was talking with the owner the other day, you know why it closed down? downloads had killed his sales.
i do also buy records n i've jus started workin so will b buying even more, not suggesting that this cancels the downloads out but i do pay a sh*tload for postage & packaging (more than i would spend buying the mps legally) so helps a bit.

it may suprise u but i'd love 2 b in that position not 4 the download thing, but i love hardcore regardless of how this may seem n would love 2 b a producer myself so i do empathise n i know that it must really piss the producers off wen people do it, but even if i never did agen in my life it'b like throwin a chair off the titanic, it wont make that much difference, because u know that theres probly hundreds of thousands of people illegally downloadin tracks rite now. n also my apoligies for bein a bit of a prick Underloop.

Although I do agree it has for sure taken some business away from the in-store buy, you can't competely rule out the fact that illegal downloading is also playing a role.
Most record shops are competent enough to know how to setup their own online store (which is how the few that are left are still gasping for breath). Despite cheap as hell prices (like 30 vinyl for $10), shops like Phusion Records in LA has also been shut down, despite the size of his inventory or prices.

Probably something like 200 CD's (little over 50 Japanese, probably about same amount Dutch HHC and the rest UK Hardcore). Then i have something like 30 vinyls. None mp3's, as i still need the CD to take shelve space. Old-fashioned, i know.

my reply is in that other thread.
as for illegal the first few i downloaded which was 6 yrs ago was because i didnt think there was anywhere to get digital ones and at the time there was only about 20 or so that were available on kazaa since then i found this site and found all the legal sites and always buy all of my tunes from them now.
limewires good for one type of hardcore and it aint music;)
