Kazaa fights back?

Interesting take on things.

I'm of two minds on this issue. In one sense, with regard to NEW music, I see online trading as out-and-out theivery. But you do raise a good point Confucy..... for the 100's of albums I have already purchased over the past 30+ years (I'm 40), I have bought copies of records, then tapes (for the car), and finally I have even purchased the CD version of certain albums. For the albums of some bands, like oh, say, Pink Floyd, or Rush, or Led Zep, I have literally purchased the same album 3 or 4 times. So, if I choose to download a few of those songs off the net to have them in my playlist, I'm damn well going to do it.

However, on the other hand I'm also not crazy about how they (the music industry) charge like $20 for a new CD either. I beleive that price is unreasonable, and it seems that a lot of others agree with me since I heard a local radio DJ say the exact same thing on his morning show recently.

I also use WinMX, it is the best.
