David, I wasn't actually aiming my comments at anyone in particular but as you seem sensetive about this subject I must ask you to explain what you mean. Are you trying to parallel you sharing a few albums with your mates on cassettes to distributing a digital copy to millions of people on a P2P ? or having a couple of dubbed casettes to a terabyte drive with thousands unlicenesed albums on it ? cos that argument falls flat on its face and not just because of the quantities and distribution either.

I just don't believe that your average P2P user does so because he only wants find new unsigned bands > do you ? I'm sure labels could release tracks as tasters on P2P but there many more ways of doing this

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p>As for kids only having $20 to spend a month on albums being an excuse to P2P well thats a load of old bollocks ! - you can get individual tracks that you really like for 75c - and of course theres the good old fashioned radio with a billion choices to Legally listen.</o:p>
