I was just pointing out the sorts of things that would change if hosting low-quality segments of copyrighted musical works online was absolutely outlawed. Effectively, part of a track appearing as part of an mp3 mix is no different to part of a track appearing as a preview clip on a record shop's website. Neither is anything like the equivalent of *owning* a track, which is why I reckon that hosting mp3 mixes online isn't a bad thing... (..so long as the site hosting the mixes isn't money-making and every effort is taken to provide full tracklist info, of course!) Brendan
