You can debate how you think it ought to work and how what you're doing is "fair" all day long. And while I don't agree with you point-by-point, I certainly generally agree that the radio-airplay/record-company/music distribution model is pretty screwed up. BUT...in the end, the law is the law. There are lots of laws that we might not agree with, but it would be a pretty chaotic world if all it took was disagreement with a law to justify the breaking of said law. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25158 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
