[DO NOT read on if u dont want 2 hear me rant about T&T + the stupid people who have u/ped + d/led the single thus far]
yesterday, i saw that the limited edition was uploaded onto JpopSuki. but JpopSuki ALWAYS does that. so i almost knew it was coming. *BUT* THIS MORNING, i checked up on my LJ and found MULTIPLE D/L LINKS to HO! Summer. (but im sure all of u already kno this) but oooo no, my friend, it doesnt stop there. A-Baka, T&T forums, non-T&T forums, fansites, comment boxes...THEYRE EVERYWHERE. like 1 d/l link is never good enuff for anyone these days - there literally has to b MILLIONS for people to b satisfied. . what's most RIDICULOUS is: on LJ, they uploaded the single in multiple links, but @ the very end of the post, they wrote in a tiny yet slightly bolded sentence: "The obligatory: BUY THIS SINGLE!!!!!" well GENIUS, that's certainly very PERSUASIVE AFTER also providing the SUPER-FREE d/l links to the whole freakin single.
see i have no prob w/ it if people have already bought their copy of [HO! Summer] but r too excited to wait for it to ship in. i can TOTALLY understand that. and i also understand that sometimes, u just want 1 song from the stinkin album/single, so its really not cool that u have to buy the entire thing just for that 1 song. ok check that. BUT for people to say shit like, "im really low on money right now" or "i cant afford to buy it, so thank u for u/ling" or "i've been waiting for it for 4ever! thanx!" ---- thats where i draw the line. first of all. ITS A SINGLE. not an ALBUM. u see the difference? ($10 is < $32) ok children, now that we're done w/ that equation... lets do this anaolgy:
fill in the blank.
[end of rant]
EDITED::
T&T have already lost a lot of money within the FIRST day of [HO! Summer]'s release.
from Rapid Share: d/led 14 times ---> (14 x 1200YEN = 16,800 YEN)
from JpopSuki: d/led 1,370 times ---> (1,370 x 12ooYEN = 1,644,000 YEN)
total loss from 2 sites: (16,800 + 1,644,000 = 1,660,800 YEN or 14,399 USD)
dont forget the other downloads from MegaUpload, YSI, CLUBBOX, Sendspace, etc!
I WANT TO KNOW HOW U CAN FUCKING SLEEP @ NIGHT!!!!!!
