Most, if not all of the stuff I get off the networks is material they will never release...like raw rehearsal tapes, early "before they were known" recordings and out of print movies. Disney will never reissue Song of the South, but it's there for the taking if you want it. Supply and demand. If they won't supply what the people want, they will just go somewhere else and get it.

Offshore sources will also make this scheme unworkable. The record companies are panicking because they know their monopoly is over.

And it is absolutely over.

Same here. I don't have time to download what I could easily buy. I download concert bootlegs and rare tracks. And, of course, all the self-published stuff from MP3.com. The best surf rock never makes to to HMV.
