Good point. In the case of the MASK stuff, they deliberately chose to release a very limited amount. They have already sold and made the quantity that they set out to do. A number TOO low to satisfy demand. So it sets up an environment where people are going to have bidding wars or just bootleg their music. If they don't want people to bootleg, then make the music readily available and stop all this SUPER limited bullshit. I agree that the people making the cdr shouldn't profit from someone else's work. But I don't see a problem with copying it for friends or trades. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
