Amen to that! <p. My Brother and brother-in-law have downloaded music from the internet before but I dare anybody to call them criminals for it. If the music industry didn't want people to download music at no cost than why did they take so long to say so?

I've downloaded tons of stuff from Kazaa. I download it because I am a musician and I want to learn the particular songs. I have also downloaded stuff that I cannot find on CD or even in used record stores (old stuff).

Other than that, the only relatively new music I have ever bought and burned is Pink Floyd's Pulse. But then, I own a laser disk copy of the concert - so sue me.

I have downloaded hundreds of songs only to listen to a part of the song and delete it. It's a convenient way of creating your own in-home "listening station" I would like to see the RIAA try to sink their teeth into that legally.
