"Touch Yello 8-Track Album-Preview (Promo)" vs. "Spencer &Hill The Expert Mix"
Glenn wrote: Where exactly goes the limit/border for when a track/file is tainted enough to be allowed to be distributed legally? Is it at 192 kbps compression, 128 kbps, 96 kbps.... or with one audible voice appearance? Or two? Or three? And if there is a border, who decides where it goes? You? Yello? IFPI? The president of the USA? Michael Moore? The clerk working down at Radio Shack? My grandmother? A music pirate? Do you think internet sharing like you did is OKed because the track is "tainted"?
If you can't understand that then we don't need to discuss it any further.
The only thing I dont understand is where the border goes, and why you define where it goes.

Just ask yourself "What would you pay for?" Millions of people everyday buy tracks from iTunes and Amazon at less quality then the 8 track sampler was posted at. How many tracks would Amazon and iTunes sell if they came with random chatter talking over the music?....None. , Jonathan

OK, so you have decided that radio chatter is the border for where YOU wont buy the music. However, such files is STILL potentially "threatening" to music sales as some people will maybe be put off buying the CD when hearing the files, even with chatter. For other people, the border is elsewhere. For me, I would not pay for 128 kbps MP3s but it isnt normally regarded as "fair use" or in any way OK to post 128 kbps files on the web. I would not normally pay for 192 kbps files either, so now I will post all of Yello's available albums in 192 kbps quality in some websites. Give me a couple of days and it's done, I will let you know the links here and in other groups. I would never pay for 192 kbps MP3s so it's no problem!
