"As long as people record songs and music discreetly - I wonder what the objection is to being recorded...."

Jim, how many time to I/we have to tell you: asking first!

Respect and disrespect.

Personally I hate 'limelight'; you wont find a picture of me on my website. I just want to play the music.

But I don't want some a bunch of free-loaders coming around me thinking they can take anything from me without asking, and defending their right to do so.
