I’m a Theif
I just deleted all the stolen music on my iPod. It hurt.
God tells us to submit to the authorities – to obey their laws. It took a while, but I finally saw that I love God more than I love my music collection. And some artists in that collection, I discovered when deleting them, I loved lots. Deleting them was hard.
There’s not much left. Only 1/8th remains. 9 Mike McCarthy songs I actually bought (support smaller artists!), a bunch of Mars Hill music I got for free, and a CD my mum owns. At least I no longer need a bigger iPod – 4Gb seems enormous now!
What now? Thankfully, I do have some legit CDs lying around to load on. And, Dave has a great list of free AND legal music sites:
- music recorded live at mars hill church (gold! i love the brothers of the empty tomb…)
- iTunes have 1 free track per week (this is a regular stop)
- triplejunearthed.com (too much to listen to – I’ve checked out lots of the Roots gear)
- other triple j free music (particularly during november – ausmusicmonth)
- music.download.com (haven’t been there for a while… but got lots!)
- artist’s myspace and personal websites (if can’t download – you can listen
- purevolume.com
But it looks like I’ll be paying for my music from now on. Jack Johnson’s new album comes out tomorrow. Better get saving.
Stealing music is wrong. Stop.
