I was using file share till that site shut down. Most of the music I got I'd bought a long time ago.

I haven't heard of any recording companies or artists going bankrupt (yet) because of file share. >I'd never want my works taken and sold for profit by the thief. But it's my understanding that file share wasn't set up for that. Thieves will always find a way. They did before file share and will continue long after file share goes away. Forget file sharing. Try newsgroups. I just downloaded over 1 million file headers of MP3s from one group only. Like shopping at a great big record store on a free shopping spree... Now to do some browsing and reclaim some old records ... -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company: http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits - Powerlet, Posi-Lock I'm a BMW rider and enthusiast.
