Well, I'm downloading songs from Morpheus right now, so hopefully that one will stick around.
Morpheus is the same thing as KaZaA, is the same thing as Grok (I think...I know there's another one!). The muzak and movie folks will never be able to stop file sharing, no matter how hard they try, or whatever the penalties they have the money to get into law. $15 for a CD is ridiculous...I'll never pay that. I probably would go for $10, but that is still pretty steep.
Kazaa and their spyware can stuff it. I use audiogalaxy.

Okay - that's helpful. I agree they can't stop them, UNLESS they cow the people who provide the programs and the architecture. That is why this is a watershed event.

Let me see if I have this straight -- if you didn't like the price of some other commodity, let's say "food", would you nonchalantly express your intention to steal that? Or would you just do without? (Presuming that "I'll never pay that" is the underlying principle.)

It's more like $16 on avg. but many are $18. 10 dollars would be nice, but I would settle for the older price that I seem to remember of $13. Years ago the record companies would claim that they cost so much because they didn't have enough manufacturing plants.

That's right. What's it called? Something like, "the genie is out of the bottle" or something like that. Whatever it is, it's out, and it ain't going back in!
