Bill, you can come up with a million "supposes". Hell, when I was a kid, I taped music. Probably even gave it away. But then I realized that I was taking something I was supposed to pay for. When I became a performer, and subsequently had other recording artists as friends, it became even clearer. I am glad you ultimately bought from Sandy, but that has nothing whatever to do with the issue. It is quite simple, and no offense intended to you, my very good friend, but if you should be paying for it and you take it, that is wrong. Are there some exceptions? I am sure. But for the life of me I can't think of any. I feel so strongly about this that when some well meaning fan gives me a tape they have made of someone, I send the artist a check.
