allofmp3.com is quite a good site, and even if rumours of it being just one big criminal enterprise were true I for one would rather be sending money to the Russian mafia than to the RIAA.
However you obtained your music there is not much chance of being caught if you are not sharing it with others - note that by downloading in a P2P program you are actually forced to upload, and thus sharing with others. If the record company cannot provide you with a easy, reasonably priced method of getting just 1 track in lossless FLAC quality then you will either have to purchase lossy DRM crap or break copyright law. But breaking the law isn't necessarily going to make you go to hell, as for instance you could be a Chinese citizen breaking the law by running a free-speech website and would everyone on here frown at that? You can make yourself feel better by sending the artist the money directly or donating to the artist's favourite charity. Either way, it would be worth writing to the record company and artist explaining (anonymously of course) why you felt there was no reasonable option other than to do this. -- Jim _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
