Do you remember your first Compact Disc?

Nope, never did BMG. I had a healthy employee discount in the early days of CD, so I didn't need anything to jump start my collection. And yes, I paid for far more CDs than I stole. But, yeah, both methods were the jump-starters.

I did lots of BMG-type stuff for DVDs and LaserDiscs, always scamming the system for 10-for-a-penny, then quitting before fulfilling the rest of the obligation. Signing up again for 10 free discs, and on and on.

If I were a hundredth as into music now as I was back then, I guess I'd be king of illegal downloads. I buy about 1 CD per year. The prices piss me off, as do the tech attempts to limit how many times I can copy the music from a CD that I paid $23 to legally purchase. Eff That!!
