I think you have it there Pip.

A few people, maybe a few hundred people downloading material that is not available or very hard to come by.

As I said, in some cases I have mixed feelings about these things but as long as there's not someone on the download side making money at the cost of the artists I really can't see the damage outweighing the benefit of for example making Bobby Casey's music available again to those who wouldn't otherwise have access to it.
