Why are things we *look* at (paintings, graphics, books, magazines, etc.) different than things we *listen to*? I have copied, downloaded, and (yes) paid for all kinds of visual materials— from creators rich and poor— with never a shrug. Yet, when one wants a copy of a tune that is otherwise *completely unavailable*, oh jeez, hold 'er boys don't let 'er rare.
