I am a fan of morpheus and limewire,
or for that matter any distributed gnutella host becuase they're never going
to catch us if it's everyone for themselves...
sorry to appear the law breaker here, but I support the music and arts
industry with over $400/month in new record purchases not to mention an
assortment of shows, plays, movies and so forth... a few freebies and
samplers on the side doesn't seem like a big request to me.
it's also my opinion that these are the strenghts of the technological
revolution... mp3's sound like crapolla compared to a well pressed record or
cd... so in the end if I like it I will always buy the original... our
world has shrunk due to technology... we have to face that, and if the
designs of the late 70's and early 80's (ie cd's) can't keep pace with
todays world of 1's and 0's being splattered across the globe then I'm
sorry, but you're not going to stop it. Too many people are involved with
reverse engineering and they'll always win in the end... this is illegal but
it's so removed that it's 'almost' victimless...
Meanwhile the company giants are being hypocrits... on one end sony (etc) is
producing cd's that can't be copied by a computer or ripped to mp3's...
on the other hand they're producing state of the art mp3/real/wav cd players
that support a host of formats...
maybe the left hand should tell the right hand what it's doing?
Sorry, but this is an area of the techno-revolution where I happen to hold a
very strong position/opinion.

Subject: [idm] file sharing programs?
So, what file sharing programs do you use to get your MP3-files in this
post-Napster era? What programs would be worth trying, especially when
searching IDM (or other obscure music)? I have used Audiogalaxy, but its
value is decreasing; even if you can actually find the song you are looking,
it is often restricted because of copyright reasons.
