I listen to a lot of music from garage band and similar sites where the music is free to download but where you are supposed to donate if you like it. I have donated to Jonathan Coulton for some of his music but I usually cannot afford to give anything as I am really short of spare cash at present and there are a lot of sites I would like to give money to.

it ia a similar thing with sites like abandonia / classic dos games etc I wish I could give them all loads of cash but budget constraints get in the way

.... so I am just curious how many of you would donate ??

[Mighty Midget]

Donated? As in over internet? Never. If I bought albums at the venue after the gig? Yes.

[DeathDude]

Not directly to an artist over the internet no, paying a concert ticket, getting a merch shirt at a concert for the band, in that case yes, which is in a way a sort of donation to the band.

I'd never pay for music. I own no music CD that I didn't receive as a gift, and even then I never listen to them.

I have mp3s on my computer of the songs I like the most, but even then I listen to them only once in a blue moon...

but.. If you did find a song on a site that you really liked and it was a free download would you feel like donating if you could afford ??

that means it was 2 years ago he last does this, so it is not a new footer... so why did it have a huge flag saying "NO WAR" until i observed it, then it disappears and russ'ses image of the flamer from blood is instead a profile selfie profile pic.

very odd.



ps, it now has a lot more than one vote in each pool, and i bet ppl will have still talked about the poll if they werent told off for engaging with the community by this dude.

GOOD MOD SKILLS KID.

[Eagle of Fire]

No. Why would I ever do that? There is risks involved when you purchase anything online, and I already don't find it worthy of my time...

[dosraider]

No.
Simple reason: I never pay for something on internet.
Also I never expect to be paid for something I put up.

Internet is created as a fuc*ing FREE OF CHARGE medium.
You made it a rotten commercial restricted happening.

[_r.u.s.s.]

maybe some people just wanted to promote their music (for free) on the internet and if you like their work, you appretiate it and gift them cash?
