Most of todays music is crap and isn't worth 5 cents a song, let alone more. Then to have to deal with all of the limits they put on how you can use it. Forget it.
I haven't bought and Audio CD is 10 years and I don't plan to start now. I am doing just fine without music and if I want it I can listen to radio.

As for downloading songs from legit. online sources the limits on what you can do with them is just too much. Something is going to have to give and I don't think it will be the consumers. More likely someone will just create a P2P program the doesn't keep track of anything about the people that are using it. If RIAA can't get the IP addresses then they can't go after people. Sooner ore later just such a program will come along.
I don't condone stealing, I would just rahter do without totally. However, this is war and if Bush has tought is one thing and that is all is fair in war.
