Hey, what you are talking about is mass distribution of copywritten materials. Your talking jail-time man. Who would you forward all this stuff to anyway? A few select freinds or family members. That's why I say you guys might only sell a million copies. If it weren't possible to share it, the number would be more like 5-10 million. If you still made 10 mil, do you really care? Do you think Eddie Van Halen cares that I have a bootlegged copy of Diver Down? (psst, just kiddin' 'bout that, no need to search my home) It is gonna be shared between a few freinds. Nothing you can do about it. But if the price is right, is it worth it? I mean, I can sure see that with an expensive document, but with a 20 dollar item... too much hassle. I don't spend money on things just so that I can go and give them away. Like I said in my last post, it's been going on forever, but there is still a lot of money being made.
