All
I will openly admit to downloading the occasional audio snippet from the interweb and yes this recent hoo haa has made me think twice about downloading.
I get completely pi$$ed off at the way we get ripped off here in the UK to pay for albums etc. There are other ways of delivering this media as mentioned below, look at what Apple are doing with iTunes which has just passed the 10 Million downloads mark and Microsoft and others are about to follow suit.
I can sum it up by watching MTV's Cribs which shows us round the houses of these poor pop stars who are being ripped of by file swappers. Plasma screens in the bathroom/hall/bedroom/kitchen/garden shed... etc etc etc. Then out into the car park which looks like a luxury car showroom, HELLO how many 100k motors do you really need? Well I suppose one for each day of the week after they have gotten home from school.
I think that my occasional foray into the seedy side of the web might not harm them too much.
