Thanks, guys.

This may sound silly, but after all this crap, I am determined to discover the power that I have as a creator of music.

I have pulled the music of a new band that I represent off of mp3.com, and am more slowly pulling my own stuff, as I find alternatives. Jande will make her own decisions. I have also deleted all the music that I put in my own 'my mp3' account, so that the artists will be freer to remove their material.

It just makes me so angry, that they would start the 'my mp3' "service", get sued by the major labels for it, and then proceed to try to do the same copyright infringements to the artists who are already making them money. And they don't expect the little guys to sue them...

Sure, there needs to be a way for artists and the mp3 service companies to make money on the net - but it can, and MUST, be done with respect, not money-grubbing.

SHEESH!
