Or, just get it online. But, if you have to rationalize, there's a reason. I admit, I used to make tapes of things off the radio when I was a teen. I wasn't making tapes and then mass distributing them. I was making them for personal use.
Mass distribution is what hurts industries.
I also agree that CD's are horribly overpriced. They'll get more money out of it, and I'll save some. Once again, rationalizations. I appreciate hearing from you. As you know, the landmark lawsuit between Napster and the recording industry is currently before the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
