The Internet is no doubt a great way to market music and expose people to new releases, especially those by artists not blessed by radio. But I can't get past the idea of copying copyrighted materials without the permission of the copyright holder. It's unethical and illegal. There will have to be a happy medium found somehow. By the way, since the article started showing up on the 'net, there has been more traffic on janisian.com than ever. Bryan
