While I'm all for sharing and sticking it to the RIAA, MPAA, and "the man," I tend to side with the artist on this issue. It would be nice to see a distribution system in which the artist could reap the benefits of his/her labor more than the record label. It's great to share as in free software, but you are projecting your ideas about sharing onto others. How do you make your living? Shall we all of a sudden decide that your labor should be shared for free, without any input from you? People who develop free software do so willingly. I don't think it's fair to project that onto others so you don't have to spend $15 on a crummy CD. Lately I'm having a hard time finding music I want to purchase anyway. That's the fault of the record labels and FM radio. Blah!! I know this will be an unpopular position on this list, so let me practice moving side to side and ducking . . . Todd -- Todd Slater
