I never said anything at all whatsoever about MP3 being used for piracy of copyrighted works. It is interesting though that you assumed that that was what I was talking about. If indeed that was what I was infering, then your assumption only stands to strengthen my statements. Also, nowhere did I state that MP3 did not have any legitimate uses. It does have legitimate uses. Out of all people out there using MP3 for whatever purpose, how much of that is legitimate legal purpose, and how much is not? I'll leave everyone to draw their own conclusions, and I make no judgement of anyone regardless of their usage of any software. -- Mike A.
