Legalsounds.com: Nothing More Than an Elaborate Corporate Scam

It seemed only inevitable that a scheming, greedy company would come along and present consumers who want cheap music (but still have a sense of righteousness that prevents them from downloading it illegally) with a fraudulent scam that would appeal to a sense of legality, but in actuality, is still an illicit operation. 

This is exactly what legalsounds.com is doing. They present the consumer with music that can be bought for 99¢ at the most, and allows them to feel as if they're not doing the music industry a disservice by obtaining their music illegally.

There is absolutely NO WAY that full-sized albums could be legitimately sold for only 99¢ [on legalsounds.com], if they are being sold on iTunes for around 10 dollars. This means that legalsounds.com is gaining pure profit, and is getting its music illegally for free. Thus, it not running a legitimate business.

A Universe of Futility

What is the purpose to life? We live. We die. Then we cease to exist. 

This very thing can be said, for almost every single person in the world, upon their deaths, the world would be left no poorer nor richer, no better nor worse, no more advanced nor counter progressed, than if they had not been born in the first place. They are mere existences, existing without true purpose. Their spheres of influence expand little beyond the environment in which they lived, and within their environment, many still remain with very little influence. They are unimportant drops in an ocean of humanity - with or without them, nothing will be changed. If they have no purpose, what is the point of them existing in the first place? Could it be, that life is so futile that it exists for the sake of it?

Almost all of humanity exists without purpose, and it is left to a select few to make make real change in the world that will last long after they die. Even hundreds of years after his death, we still remember William Shakespeare. He had been one with real influence. His life had a purpose, and he fulfilled it well. But do we remember the man who shined his shoes? No. He is dead and gone, like almost everybody is and will be. Meaningless and futile.

Maybe humanity was never meant to build planes and rocket ships. It seems only inevitable that in the beginning, we were meant to live like the rest of life on Earth, contributing to an ecosystem. That must be the purpose in life. To exist, so other life may also exist. But the human race has disconnected itself from the natural world. It no longer contributes to ecosystems, only depletes them. Perhaps we have already exceeded our intended purpose.

If that were our purpose, why must life exist at all anyways? Earth does not benefit from being with or without life. The universe does not benefit from being with or without Earth. If the universe is existence itself, why must there even be existence? Nothing is made better, nothing is made worse from its presence or absence.

Everything that happens in the universe is futile if the universe itself is futile. In the grand scheme of things, nothing matters.

Perhaps the Most Underrated Band of All Time

Before you tell me the Bee Gees suck, listen to the songs 'To Love Somebody', 'Mr. Natural', 'Run to Me', 'Nights on Broadway', 'Massachusetts', and a few others, and then we'll talk. Chances are, we won't have to, and your negative pre-conceived notions of these champions of the disco era will have promptly vanished. Don't like disco? Doesn't matter; you'll like these guys anyways. With brilliant falsetto singing, songwriting, and songs as diverse in genre as the chemicals you can find in a McDonalds burger, there's nothing you couldn't like about these Aussies. SERIOUSLY - listen to them.

Run to Me

Why to Go Vegetarian

Next time you eat a burger, or have bacon on a Sunday morning, remember that the meat you’re eating probably came from an animal living in a factory farm. This meat is a massive contributor to worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and precious forests were destroyed to make grazing land for this animal prior to slaughter. By becoming a vegetarian, you will greatly reduce your environmental footprint.

On factory farms, animals bred for meat are treated very cruelly, sentenced to terrible living conditions they do not deserve. Billions of factory-farmed animals worldwide are living locked away in cages, mutilated, and covered in their own urine and excrement with broken bones from attempts of escape and festering sores from a lack of the human care that they deserve. In these terrible places, cows have their tails cut off, chickens are de-beaked and piglets have their teeth pulled out without anesthetic. This is not to mention the fact that people living in the surrounding areas get sick more often and the runoff from these farms contaminate water supplies and the environment. Although people who are in favour of factory farming say that treatment of the animals has improved significantly over the past decade, why is it that these animals need a constant dose of antibiotics just to stay alive? Conditions on these farms are so bad that factory farming corporations such as Tyson, Schneider’s and Smithfield line their fences surrounding their factory farms with barbed wire just to prevent people from entering and taking photographs. “Begun by Satan’s malice and perpetuated by man’s desertion of his post” —C.S. Lewis: Description of animal pain. To avoid buying from factory farms, always buy organic or farm raised products. By becoming a vegetarian, you will reduce the demand for factory-farmed meat.                                                                                         

Meat production creates a tremendous amount of greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. As a result of a large appetite for bacon, large ponds of pig manure that emit Nitrous Oxide (a gas with the potential to be very harmful) now contaminate the countryside. Although pigs are bad, cattle are even worse. They produce high amounts of a harmful GHG called methane, which is about 20 times worse than carbon dioxide in terms of the greenhouse effect. Cattle production is the worldwide leader in deforestation and GHG emissions. An overproduction of cattle is causing the Amazon and other forests to be logged to create grazing land, which contaminates the surroundings with agricultural runoff and air pollution. A study estimates that a whopping 51% of world emissions are created by the meat industry. Scientists say that a single kilogram of beef creates an equivalent of 32 kilograms of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to going for a three-hour drive and leaving every light on at home. “Please eat less meat” — UN. People may eat meat for its availability and taste, but that’s no reason to destroy the earth.


Many are opposed to the idea of people being vegetarian. They say that humans are naturally omnivorous, therefore, it is in our nature to eat meat, but were there ever meant to be almost 7 billion humans, creating a tremendous demand for meat? The meat that we eat cannot be considered “natural.” With all of the antibiotics and growth hormones that are given to livestock, in no way is it natural. “If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is stop eating meat” —Sir Paul McCartney.


By becoming a vegetarian, you will greatly reduce your environmental footprint. If you are unable to become a vegetarian, try to reduce the amount of meat you eat. Buying organic is extremely important, because non-organic or farm grown foods are most likely factory farmed. Think about it: Is it fair that we assume rights over other animals?

Why the Environmental Movement is Losing the Battles

It seems to be, time and time again, that hordes of dedicated, devoted environmentalists organize themselves into protest, only to end up on the losing side every single time.

Why are they always on the losing end of the fight? The answer is not because their beliefs are flawed, but the problem lies in the way that the ideology is preached and received. The movement as a whole for the most part, functions almost like a religion, supporting its facts with dogma, rather than legitimate proof. This dogma strips the movement of a voice with power, worthy of receiving serious consideration.

This dogma, and almost religious aspect to the environmental movement is the reason that these motivated, passionate environmentalists do not bring the radical change they so desperately seek. An unfortunate reality is that many of these change-makers are bleeding hearted people who strive towards a utopian civilization that is imaginary, at best. These people are not realists, only radical visionaries; this is the very thing that discredits anything they do or say.

To achieve measurable success that would be a step towards averting environmental catastrophe would take not only visionaries, but visionaries that can coordinate what the say with reality, and abandon the constricting and poisoning dogma. The leaders must not only have the passion to create change, but also the intelligence, and a credible voice.

Don't get me wrong: I'm a huge environmentalist myself. My pessimism towards these ill-equipped environmentalists is due to my scorn towards the fact that they are preventing true progress, and discrediting the movement itself.
