Hello. If I heard correctly the music industry have announced to attack each music downloader from now on. Rene, I suggest you close the FTP site. It is better that people share between individual persons in sense "this and that are out of print, can you make a copy of them for me?". If people want a copy of some rare item, they should ask it in the list. An alternative could be that the FTP site would be at "ftp.yello.ch". Personal ftp accounts could be free or for some suitable price (which should not be much if they offer only files contributed by the fans). Another alternative would be that Yello gives a permission for what Rene and we are doing. This would ensure Rene and we are not getting in to trouble. Of course, Yello could always set up a proper site for purchasing high quality mp3 files either individually, in punch, or in yearly subscription basis. In any case, it can be debated (in court, not here please) that copying out of print material is actually "fair use". And even if it would not be "fair use", it can be debated (in court) if Yello can ask money for damages. Yello and the record company has shown no interest in making money with their out of print music. I have waited for over 15 years for a rare Yello music, but they are still out of sight. This is a very strong sign that Yello is not interested in making money with these music. I'm happy to confess any copyright infringement but I would not pay for imaginary damages. Nobody of us have reason to pay for damages as far as we share out of print material. It is nowadays for Yello very easy to fix the situation: set up a commercial mp3 site. The longer they hold it, the less they can demand for damages. It should be our common interest in to get all Yello material available. We have shown our interest, now it is Yello's turn. --*-- What would be the postal address where to I should send my requests for purchase of rarities? I would ask for a pro forma (prepaid bill). We all should send written requests for pro forma as it would clearly proof that we have done all possible for getting legal copies of the products. Best regards, Juhana
