Oh man - this is absurd. Are there really guys out there who haven't got material on their empeg which they borrowed from a friend? Have you never read a borrowed book?

Of course I read borrowed books and listen to borrowed CDs (I just said I buy those I like - I simply like to have them on my shelf :) I agree that the situation with 'intellectual property protection' is absurd (more in USA than Europe: both practices you mention are legal in, say, Germany, AFAIK), but I don't see how we can help it.

Of course we don't want to drag empeg the company into the crap that's flying around about Napster, we just want to listen to music.

That's all I asked: let's not endanger Empeg. But really, as I said, we have already argued this to death when discussing copying from empeg issue, so let's just live it here. Those of us using Napster have 'bootstrap' address to their private ring, perhaps some more private mail on the topic will be exchanged, nobody will be sued even by most greedy RIAA lawyers (who don't give a damn that they are probably damaging their employer's profits by those insane suits), so all is well.

Cheers!
