AC/DC -- Black Ice

I have finally managed to get a copy of the latest offering from AC/DC. I picked up my copy from a legitimate music store here in Jakarta, Indonesia. And, I am guessing that the album is the real deal and not a pirated copy.

In any event, I paid IDR 75,000 for it. This equates to about AUD 10. So, it is a bit of a bargain.

Another great Australian export to the world!

I like all of the songs on the album!

AC/DC -- New Album Online

I am an AC/DC fan and proud to be so. I have all their albums and have been eagerly awaiting the release of Black Ice. However, if I do not want to wait I can go to the pirate music site thepiratebay.org and download it. I would be joining an estimated 400,000 others who have already downloaded the album. As much as I am tempted to download the album, I am going to wait for it to be officially released and buy it.

I am not sure that the fellas are poor and need the royalties, but that is not the point. Piracy is theft, although I must confess to owning a few suspect DVDs. That said, all my music and software is legitimate.

Funnily enough, AC/DC does not allow its music to be sold through online retailers such as Apple's iTunes, but all of the band's albums can be obtained through illegal download websites. I wonder will software, film, and music piracy ever be defeated?

The reviews of Black Ice have seen it compared to Back in Black. I hope this pans out to be true as Back in Black is an awesome album.
