But does that really matter as long as lots of good music is being produced too? I think that peer-to-peer filesharing provides an excellent facility for exploring new types of music, and there's lots of great songs still being produced (for example, I've recently started listening to European goth-metal bands with great female vocals like The Gathering and Lacuna Coil). Certainly, before I started using online filesharing I'd pretty much given up buying CDs because the other media weren't playing anything that I liked, but now I'm buying more than ever - they're just more obscure, sometimes to the point at which I have to buy them online rather than in stores. In fact, there's probably only a handful of bands or singers I like (say, Radiohead, Zwan, the Flaming Lips, Norah Jones, Tori Amos) that get anywhere near the mainstream media. Rich, who finds it very easy to ignore the vast quantities of faceless dance music and passionless teenpop that fills television and radio. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
