Hey you're the one who asked for a reason.  The fact that its a great idea
is reason enough for me.  The only possible reason you'd be be determined to
discourage me from executing my plan is if you maintain a page on mp3.com,
and if thats the case then you also have no 'god given right' to that
service either, which entitles me to shut it down at my whim!

I don't need a lecture, I need fellow revolutionaries!   'FREE' is a
debatable term and even if it is FREE that doesnt make it GOOD or even
TOLERABLE.
