I agree, that is totally out of line. He should be changing it to "Shillder". <g>

I think this is a damn good idea. fairtunes.com SNIP: > How does Fairtunes make money? We hope to build up enough volume of traffic using our voluntary contribution service, that we could make some money by advertising, some by earning interest on the "float", and some by other related sales and services that we are planning. We have a ways to go before getting there though, so we've added a feature to give users the option of tipping Fairtunes itself! It works the same way as tipping musicians -- "Fairtunes" is in the list of artists. Or you can tip here. < ***************** Have to admit, these guys have a good idea. Look at this: fairtunes.com > 'Toni Braxton also declared bankruptcy in 1998. She sold $188 million worth of CDs, but she was broke because of a terrible recording contract that paid her less than 35 cents per album. Bankruptcy can be an artist's only defense against a truly horrible deal and the RIAA wants to take it away.' < ****************** No wonder the big labels are WORRIED. Make Napster the bad guy, but who is the real bad guy?
