But the issue is sufficiently important that someone speak out, Bill. I think it is useful for me to point out that I am not opposed to filesharing, just when it is used to steal. Is it a useful technology with legitimate uses in our industry? Hell yes. In fact, done correctly, it could be a tremendous boon to the small artist in competing with the large labels, and eliminating the middle man. But the artist must be compensated. I love the ideas for selling tracks one at a time.

But if you should be paying, and you know it, then stealing is stealing. I don't see much wiggle room.
