This thread has to end sometime, but I'm not doing much to help. Is this guy rmstringer for real? I'm just awestruck at the arrogance and ignorance of him putting up mp3's from our favorite band that are still in print and available to purchase. Further more, the moderator (if any)is allowing him to advertise this. A year ago no listee would've put up with it, why is it so okay now? Why are we supporting or allowing someone to, in the least, advertise robbing profits from the orb? jeff Sorry, couldn't let this one go... Smiley is one the good guys...and I think the point he was trying to make was if Alex & Co. are trying to make money off an album (i.e. the Bobs), it shouldn't be offered for free (at least in public, anyway). They are the reason we're all on this list, right? I don't think he implied that you were making any dough from your ftp. Not a personal attack, RM, just a clarification. Good luck with the surgery. james : Nothing was ever charged on my FTP...100 % free. The thread is complete and : over with it was ended last week. Let get over it and move on I have. : :: if it's out of print / deleted / live gig bootleg-type :: stuff, being shared for NO PROFIT = FINE (although the :: record companies may think otherwise, of course). :: ::if it's in-print / commercially available / being ::distributed FOR PROFIT = NOT FINE. _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
