No, I wouldn't. No one would want it.

This is different!

Haha, I was going to say. People actually want to hear Testament!

Yes, we're all in agreement.

What Lev said was genuinely witty.

Here here.

Yep, sorry I didn't see this earlier.

I don't see any excuse for stealing music that is readily available that a band has only just released. If people are fans of Testament and want to support the band they will buy the fucking album.

Word.

Yeah... The cost of living kind of doesn't give me spare money with which to buy CD's, especially ones of bands i'm not into.

I'm gonna download it and listen to see if it's worth purchasing

Come on guys it's:

• £8.99 pre-order on hmv.com (free delivery)
• £6.95 preorder mp3 at Play.com

at the going rate that's 3 pints in london for the fucking CD!

I'd buy it.


But it leaked. Bwaha.

I hate London, and I seldom drink, as I don't have the money to waste. I also hate Chunk Billy.

Chuck Billy is the man. Only Chuck Billy would headline a 'Help Chuck Billy' concert.

The album is very good. When I get home I'm gonna delete it off my computer so I have to buy it!

That's still stupid, I don't want to sound like Lars here but you wouldn't steal something from a shop, try it out for a few days then go back and pay for it only if you like it... or maybe you would.

The fascist bully-boys strike again.

Yes, feel free to apply the 'If you like it ,then support it' theory, but what about us who really no longer care about Testament who just want to see if they've done the impossible and put out something worth-while for the first time in fourteen years? Would you have us blow a 10-er just to find out? What if it's shit? That would make us cunts.

I've probably been one of the biggest Testament fans on the board and I wouldn't consider buying the album unless I had money burning a hole in my pocket. They are one of a few bands whose discography I pride myself on owning but, come on, stop standing in the way of progress people. Downloading albums is a victim-less crime and in no way can be compared to common theft*. If anything, by downloading this album I'd be getting my own back on Atlantic Records for having to pay so much for the other albums.

It's not theft; it's using your head.

*Before you give me it don't say it hurts Testament. They were raking in money circa 1992 and were stupid enough to blow it all and end up living in piss-soaked apartaments.
