I have to ask...do you like spending money on pointless things...after all
if I copy 10 CDs
I don't want to risk coastering 9 of them. I have never really coastered any
CDs (except GTA
London). I think 1 CD from about 40 that I have copied/made from homemade
warez is
quite a descent success rate.
CD are very good for using, but destroying good ones when you don't have to
is rather
stupid in my eyes. I don't like buying alots of CDs from one shop as it
looks a bit sus..I buy
around 10 from each shop, there are 3 shops quite near each other...so thats
30 CDs if
I would ever need that many.
