Oooooh boy, don't get me started on the sheer greed of the record companies....
I agree with the point that the "industry" is not only out-dated, but is being dragged into the cyber age kicking and screaming, when it should embrace it... and it seems to be run by greedy lawyers and bean-counters...
I also subscribe to the fact that a lot of CDs are sold *after* someone downloads the MP3 version, and likes it enough to buy the real thing...
But IMHO, these sites are ripping off the artists more than the record companies are, and real fans would just buy the stuff, and rip MP3 for themselves...
I think we might agree that something needs to change, and hopefully it's soon...
To each their own.
As for boots, I was not aware they hosted boots. As long as it's lossless, I don't think I would have a prob with that... thanks for that info!!
