I agree with much of your sentiment but not your solution. Many (not all) record companies are inefficient, ultra-conservative, promoting their safe trash over interesting but risky music, and give too little back to artists. They are not ideal. But to use AllOfMP3 is the best way to kill off music altogether. If the artists get no money, they will just have to stop. If you want to protest, why not download via Bittorrent and donate £3-5 per CD to a music charity (or even to the RIAA/MCPS, for direct distribution to the artists!). It would be interesting to see the RIAA launch a lawsuit on someone who had paid them directly for the music! -- adamslim SB3 and Shanling CDT-100, Rotel RT-990BX, Esoteric Audio Research 859, Living Voice Auditorium IIs, Nordost cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28858 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
