i think the whole point was that epik high made such an effort to make it readily available to their international fans, and it seems like all that effort it all ~moot~ now. and uploading it 10 seconds after it was released, kind of discourages people from actually buying the CD, despite the uploader's encouragement to support them. idk, it was kinda in bad taste imo. :\
i guess so! and i could've talked about BoA and utada hikaru's efforts to break into the international market but idec the whole thing anymore, tbh. :|
I understand passionate fans wanting to support their taste in music, but seriously?! BoA's and Utada's English albums were plastered EVERYWHERE, and no one gave a (real) complaint. And those albums are on iTunes, like Epik High's, AND they will be released in the United States... like in stores (even if BoA is having current troubles with hers).
I'll be straight up and say sometimes I download and don't buy the music, but it's a process. I buy things according to how much money I have and what I want more.
Also, to those saying Epik High worked hard on it. Um!? Don't tell me BoA and Hikki didn't work hard either. And even if it was independently, that was their choice. Working on an independent label sadly doesn't stop leaking.
I took it off of yongwonhi because I knew people wouldn't stop complaining until I did, but partly because I do want people to support them. Attacking each person who uploads it, though, just makes your fandom look crazy. There's always gonna be other people uploading it whether one likes it or not

HALLELUJAH SISTA to the BoA and utada hikaru thing. i didn't hear anyone being upset over their albums, and i believe they worked equally as hard, if not more. BoA worked so hard on perfecting her english, too, and i feel more bad for her than EH. :(
i used to download things without buying them (sometimes i still do) but i'm trying harder to buy them when i can. :) about downloading MTS, though, EH has always been a hit-or-miss for me. i haven't heard any of their new songs, but i don't really plan to, either. :|
Seriously. BUT suddenly when it's Epik High it's not okay to share links? What logic is that? Independent label or not. And I totally forgot the whole language thing for BoA for a sec. Omggggg, do not tell me that girl didn't have to bust her butt in order to just TRY pronouncing certain words.
Epik High is actually hit-or-miss for me too. Usually it's just a one or two songs per album that I like. D:
