that may be true for you. but there are many people out there that don't buy music BECAUSE they're able to "get it" for free online. if you're low on money, you cut corners. if you can stop buying music, and still be able to listen to it (or even download it, then burn it to disc), then you'd rather stop buying cds than not pay your bills. this mentality is quite common these days. -kiya --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

So, err, you're saying artists would rather not have their music listened to by poor people? ;) derek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
