Now if only we can get through to the artists that mp3 piracy is good then that would be great.

I don't care what the businessmen say. I care what the artists say. Well that's just because my favorite band (Stratovarius if anyone cares ) is anti mp3 piracy. I wish they just understood the benefits of it. They think artists lose money. Well they thought wrong.

Not just detestable bands like Metallica are against the mp3 pirates.

The internet should be a place of FREEDOM where all things including information, data and files should be free to access and/or download

It sometimes annoys me when big companies or entire industry's try to commersialise the internet

kazaalite is #1 for mp3's, film's and software

The writer of that article and the people who did the "research" seemed to have missed a very important point- most albums only have one or two songs that I would want anyway.
Usually the rest is just filler.

Or even worst, some CD collections, like the remarkable "Ken Burns Jazz" collection, sell for a massive amount of money when you only want maybe ten songs.

Exactly.
Every time I buy a rack of blank CDs now, I prefer to call it my "Best of Britney Spears Collection".

Love that&#33; But then I have a ton of mp3s to upload most of them by people youve never heard of and/or people who were dead before DOS PCs came out.
