(...) I would agree---except for what we do (FTE/ITW/EDA). All of those lists, tend towards tape trading _of non commerical material_ from the artist. It is seen as being done of love of the artist not out of spite. I mean, I own all the albums by (...) (24 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Of course my point was that the music that the masses listens to WILL be free. The only question then is how the artists feed themselves. Some will do so by having another job.
