The idea: Even when fans copy files from other music lovers' computers, record companies and artists can still make money.

That's a great Idea! The File Sharers Win, the artists (this includes YOU, Yorick) win, the RIAA wins, even the drunk guy dancing on my front lawn wins! Halejulah! [img]graemlins/jumpclap.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/dance2.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/yippee.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rocking.gif[/img]

Personally, I don't see File Sharing as a beast: To me, it's the kitten that just claws at the RIAA's jeans. [img]graemlins/kitty2.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/givingspeech.gif[/img] On a sad note, out of fear of worms, I cannot download music any more. From now on, I'm buying CDs and playing it safe!

This is what I've been saying all along! People are willing to pay for convenience. Glad to see that someone's noticed the trend, too... Maybe progress isn't too far off after all.

Sweetness! Better late than never. Maybe there is hope for some of the major labels after all.
