Mike, You seem to be under the misconception that most people here are advocating stealing music. For the record we're not and never have been. Please do not confuse the issue by stating things that way. That said, the record company needs to recognize the reality of the situation and learn to deal with it intelligently. Getting congress to criminalize song sharing as a felony is not the way to go about that. Giving the customer's what they want is. I notice you haven't said anything about my example of the iTunes music store. Could that be because you don't have an answer to it and that it so perfectly illustrates what I'm talking about? :-) Cheers, Tanner -- Tanner Lovelace | lovelace(at)wayfarer.org | http://wtl.wayfarer.org/ --*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*-- GPG Fingerprint = A66C 8660 924F 5F8C 71DA BDD0 CE09 4F8E DE76 39D4 GPG Key can be found at http://wtl.wayfarer.org/lovelace.gpg.asc --*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*-- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. -- Thomas Jefferson
