Lesson 23 I Found This Great Website

Chase: Hey Patricia, I see you've got a pretty sweet new MP3 player. What kind of music is that frizzy little head of yours into these days anyway?

Patricia: I've been all over the place lately trying out new things. I found this great website for downloading music and movies, and it's got all the latest tracks from everyone on the charts. I'm not 100% sure it's legal, though. I'm just saying...

Chase: Well, I've got no qualms¹ about downloading stuff off the Internet. The artists will hardly see a dime² from their albums anyway, so why should I care?

I don't want my hard-earned money going to stuff the pockets of some big corporate³ execs who couldn't care less about anything other than a top 40 hit.

Patricia: Yeah, the only thing that I feel kind of guilty about is that the artist is cut out of any royalties⁴. But I guess they have to keep up with the times as well.

Chase: Agreed. Hey, speaking of new music, have you had a chance to check out the new track Bassnectar dropped last week?

Patricia: Huh? Who's that? So, what have you got on your playlist for the week?
