CD shops around Singapore are mostly shit ass quality (even the largest HMV does not cater ALL songs). Then comes to copyright problem. Those people from Intellectual Property Copyright are another bunch of losers (probably some of them also download via Torrent sites) who says we all should not download illegally. Well, out of 10 household in Singapore, there's a probability of 10 of 10 who download any forms of media every second. iTunes (Steve I know you are dead) but if you can hear us, please make a legit songs on ALL iTunes websites around the globe. We don't mind paying USD$0.99 per song as it's worth every cent. It's better than forcing us to find another alternative. Since back in the States, downloading MP3 via iTunes is such a success, why not make it a legit on all iTunes websites. I am pretty sure all the artiste would be more than please to have their songs purchase legally right?

Call copyright owners and the respond is lackluster. Email the alleged distributors, no response. It is incorrect for the laws to punish bootleg distributors. They rave up competition. That's good for customers. Frustrated, customers may buy pirated music though the quality may not be as good. I feel sorry for the artists. The copy right owners are not doing enough. What a raw deal? It’s a nighmare buying original music in Singapore. Call copyright owners and the respond is lackluster. Email the alleged distributors, no response.

I would buy buy music here in Singapore, but its just too bad that there are no legit options online and the cd shops are terrible; therefore, I have a completely valid reason to torrent music. I just don't understand why there are no good online options, even the ones mentioned in this article are pretty bad imo. If I have no options, I shouldn't be able to be punished as harshly as Singaporean law does. I can't even say how much this whole thing pisses me off. Even the radio here is complete bullsh1t. Singapore is really not the best place for music. This is the reason why people pirate music.
