I don't have a problem with that. It's like hearing things on the radio
and then buying it (or not). There are loads of people who buy very few
things, but have dozens of CDRs full of MP3 tracks. If people don't
buy records and CDs, the record labels fold. If the record labels fold
then artists can't support themselves with their music.
And I reserve the right to be ticked off at people who, in general, feel
like the world owes them a living, and get a big buzz out of getting over
on other people. I'm not talking about YOU, or accusing anyone in particular.
But y'all know who you are.
