Rifleman, I have a record on this forum for a number of years of yelling and screaming about this. The fact that Billy Bragg says its OK just makes the point. It's OK, BECAUSE HE AUTHORIZED IT. The music is not some free commodity that you can just pass around. It is up to the artist to authorize it, or not authorize it. Anything done without the permission of the artist amounts to theft. You can dress it up, put makeup on it, teach it to walk sexy, but it is still theft. Pure and simple.
