[! mod's post] leeching

Leeching in not cool.

If you want to share an URL, especially one of my personal rips, please tell me before you do so. When I uploaded Nishino Kana's MAKE UP, only seven people bothered to comment.

So far, it's been downloaded 737 times. What's worse is that people steal my links, and hotlink the covers I post up to public domains. This makes me very angry. The covers I post up are uploaded into my livejournal gallery - my paid account, which I pay for with my own money. If you're going to steal my links and covers, you could have at least uploaded it on to a public server.

Thank God some decent people at least credited me. I know whoever uploaded the torrent on JPS didn't put 7music or my username on it anywhere, crediting somebody else. I know for a fact that 31 MB for 'MAKE UP' can not possibly be 320 kbps.

Nishino Kana is not an artist with very high sales, which is why I support her and buy her singles. This isn't cheap, especially considering the situation of the global economy right now. This single costed me more than thirty AUD to pre-order, and this is a single that only costs around 1000 yen. It makes me very angry that people take the fact that I shared it here for granted. I didn't have to, but I did, because I hoped some people would appreciate Kana like I do.

This simply teaches me a lesson I won't forget.
