To which Charles Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> replied: >If your daughter is determined to steal copyrighted material (and you >are apparently going to let her), PLEASE switch her over to the Dark >Side. Chas, I think you're being a bit harsh on both Michael and his daughter by assuming that she is intent on piracy and he is willing to aid and abet. The keyword here is FREE MP3s (I'm assuming that the "fre" was a typo for "free"). I'm willing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume that the term "free MP3s" is being used to convey "legally downloadable MP3s," which apparently do exist because you go on to state: >Legal MP3s are plentiful and easy to download from sites like mp3.com >and emusic.com. I think we can all agree on the fact that pirating copyrighted material is undesirable, but let's not ascribe nefarious intentions to people until evidence shows otherwise.
