ask the riaa... seems you're ripping their profits away.. don't get me wrong! I think artists deserve to be paid for their work. (as a former musician especially) but I think they ought to be paid more for it and the recording companies taking a little less of a cut. I'll rip cds all day long, but if a band I like comes thru I'll go straight to the show and buy the cd from them personally.
