    It must be nice to be a mega-millionaire rock band. You’d have so much money, you can hire teams of technicians to scour the global internet and force the removal of all free downloads of your album. Even the hidden nooks and crannies I know that normally host the hard-to-find are affected.

    So what does it mean to us low-life mp3 mongers? It means we either have to know someone who shelled out $$ for the CD and is willing to loan or burn a copy, or you have to buy it. In other words, someone has to pay.

    Is that a band thing? Maybe it is, and maybe not. I download music for the purpose of evaluation — if I like it, I will certainly spend my hard-earned $$ for an official copy, which is ALWAYS better than a digital download, with or without artwork. I just don’t like the notion that said megastars can afford to force the www to its knees when so many deserving artists cannot.

    As always, the golden rule lives on – he who has the gold makes the rules.

    Peace,
