Xtel @ Golden Gate Theatre. Anatomy Of A Pirate. I like to buy music. I buy it from emusic (where I pay $23/month for use it or lose it credits for music downloads), Amazon, and when in a pinch, iTunes. I also have two Rhapsody music subscriptions that cost an additional $20/month. My kids also regularly spend money on iTunes for music (often for tracks we already own somewhere else in the house). I suspect between all of this, our family spends well over $1000/year on mp3s, probably closer to $2000/year. And yet, today I find myself pirating an album on the Internet. Last week, I saw a tweet from my friend Anthony: I'm a huge fan of Mike Skinner/The Streets so that was an instant click. Then I searched the Internet for the record. I got around to doing that today. So then I went to find a VPN or proxy service that would let me grab a UK IP address so I could buy the record. So reluctantly, I went to a bit torrent search.
