ya think? if the RIAA can sue a midwestern house wife for a quarter million, i wouldn't put it past them… they just need some time to free up the lawyers.

What's going to happen if someone steals your mp3 or computer? You're fucked aren't you?

admittedly, i haven't given much thought to someone "stealing my MP3" … i guess i'd just have to tip my hat to their ingenuity
stealing my computer? doesn't seem like any different calculus on my part then protecting a music collection on CD, cassette, vinyl, what have you … i guess i just have to hope noone breaks into my house and hauls out my tower
i have ~155 GB of music right now, most of which is backed up on DVDs which i leave over at a friend's house … with the price of hard drives plummeting, i'm considering just buying one strictly for backups, would make it a lot easier … if i had any money i'd get a safe-deposit box and toss a backed-up hard drive in there (how expensive are those boxes to rent?)

I had one at Chevy Chase bank and paid $37 per year. It was a small one for passports etc so I imagine a larger one would be a whopping $80 per year or something…

I had no clue these were so rare. Time to start eBaying!
As I mentioned to you in a PM, I'm taking a similar initiative, although mine is more for space than anything else…I just don't have the room for such a huge physical collection. I'm taking a slower route, though. I'm phasing out CDs and replacing only essential (to me, anyway) CDs with vinyl before removing.

actually that's not bad at all, i could probably fit a hard drive in one of the small ones … take it out every few months to backup and toss it back in again … hmmm

that makes sense to me, i'm kind of ripping the band-aid off here … it definitely feels weird to let some of my favorite albums go out the mailbox, but i really never listened to the actual CDs anyway … and trolling ebay for vinyl is a lot of fun =), paying $15-20 for a smiths or 'mats LP doesn't seem that bad

Didn't they just re-release that? Or are you hardcore enough to buy the original? Man, that would be awesome.

I haven't taken the time to look through GBV vinyl yet, but I was super surprised to see a Box LP set on ebay for fairly cheap. How much do those usually pull?

there are different versions of it, and you could still buy it from scat directly up until a couple of years ago, I never bought it on vinyl, but it is usually over 100 I think, I dont look as often as I used to
here is a gallery of known propeller vinyl

Hey Hoya,
How did this work out for you? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I have way too many CDs that are just sitting in boxes taking up space.
