Hi Kirk and Brian, I remember back in the dark ages of Akai reel to reels.I had a few friends who were audiophiles.Their collection of albums was a thing of great pride. Often they would string together popular songs on a tape for me to play.There were no royalties paid by me and it was far from considered stealing. These guys passing laws that create new crimes are the greedy crooks. I don't blame the youth of taday for not thinking twice about downloading a song. If you've got the computer and a line that will do it - it is just like when my friend had two recorders. The greed of this industry and the perverts within it is their demise - not the theft of music. JMHO Bob I don't have any children ,but I'd be darned to tell them that's stealing!!
