hello david,

ok, this is what you do, choose the ones you like and pay the artists and delete the other downloads you don't like, nothing to say, i think this is a fair way of acting.

i am pretty sure though (yes i may have a distrustful view of the consumer, maybe of the human race?...), there are thousands of people who donwload everything, keep everything, listen to everything, illegally.

as for people who cannot afford to buy cds: so they are granted the permission to steal? there are thousands of net labels to download from, almost every artist has some free mp3s on his website, so you may always find something interesting for free, legally.

anyway, since illegal downloading is here to stay, i think it's the labels & artists who should try and find some new creative ways of publishing their works, it's time that the regular jewel-cased audio cd is going to disappear.
