Free downloads, open sharing.</p><p>The commentator made a great point. He said when these young people (I'm not one of them...) attempt to earn a living as musicians, composers, movie producers they'll likely see things very differently--they'll want to be paid for their work, unless they all have day jobs.</p><p>I gladly pay for the music I listen to and enjoy. </p>Dave SteinWed, 31 Dec 2008 09:19:14 -0000
