You're on this list because you care about some other music. If you really care, nurture it. Help the music finds homes and interest and a consumership. Debating exactly what ownership entails and implies when you buy a CD is what the majors want you to do. It keeps you from "bootlegging" their product, and it keeps you from freely digitizing this stuff for your friends and trying to make non-major music fans out of them.
I propose that each of us on this list knowns 20 cool people who aren;t on this list and who don't really know about the music we discuss around here. Let's all make twenty discs and distribute them to people who might like this kind of entertainment, who are likely to buy one or two of the records we put on that disc for them, who are likely to attend a performance. We're obviously people with time, energy, and passion about this stuff. Let's not relegate ourselves to preaching to the converted.
