hehehe... I know. I like that one too. I don't happen to remember if I paid to listen to it or not.

I have never paid a penny.

Music piracy is a hairy problem. I do believe the artists deserve to be paid for permanent copies of their work. If the internet availability were to listen, much like the radio, but not take it with you and put it on disk, it would not be as much of an afront.

The barn door that is open is the internet and music "sharing". The artists are being robbed by that. but the horses are long gone. I don't see how it is possible to get them back now. Anyone can put up a site.
