You must be new here. michael and Cowboy Neal don't read each other's articles (see here and here and about a jillion other examples). You might wonder how they can both draw a salary for doing the same amount of work (i.e. zero), but you have to understand that mumble lunix something dot com.

You are depriving them of their rights under law. How about I come round and kick you in the nuts until you understand that? I'm not depriving you of anything - except your rights under law - so you can have no complaint.

Great Post! Well thought out and written. Logical and passionate.
I might suggest getting a DVD writer (I suggest an 8X speed one) and making DVDs of all the great music that you have come to know and trading these with friends, associates, people who look kind-of cool, and even strangers on website postings. Each blank DVD costs about a dollar and holds about 50 albums in 192kbps MP3 format. Mailing costs are about 60 cents a disk with quality shipping envelope folders at about 50 cents.
This , along with hard disk swapping (a $100 160 Gigabyte hard disk holding about 2100 albums) will be the new Napster and primary method of music awareness and promotion among elite listeners when (or if and when) the P2P networks are shut down by the media corporations.
