Well JakeR are you sure you never used cassettes or blank CD-R's?
Where does one draw the line? Ask Korn how much of the $15.00-$20.00
they get per CD.

I know multitudes of end users who have owned machines for years and
a few have asked me to install Napster (when it was free). They never "get it"
how to obtain songs so they never used it.

With Napster dead (not free and filtered) you have to have a bit of "gumption"
to get a new piece of software to continue leeching free tunes. This alone cuts
out ½ of the old Napster users from evolving to new software b/c Morpheus
and the likes are not publicized in the media like Napster continuously was.

I suppose you have never d/l'ed pierat soft or burned a CD, or recorded a cassette,
or recorded a video...jeesus H...holier than thee.

If one knows how to get tunes then go for it and phuk the morality issues and
baggin' on ppl for leeching. I nor 98% of the d/l'ers sell these tunes. It isn't the
copyright the industry is worried about it's the $15.00 they never see.
