Yes, in an idealistic world of course having a p2p service would not have any effect at all on the decision to purchase a track. But I think that in reality it does, so you need to offer some incentive to people to 'do the right thing'. I'm not arguing that that is the way it should be, but mearly that that is the reality of the matter. brandon http://www.resynthesize.com/ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
