Hehe. I remember that. ;-] Speaking of mp3s... I run an ftp site, and
through it I have gotten to know members of several bands, who heard
that my site was pretty popular, and thought it would be a good way to
advertise their bands. So... did they upload one or two songs, hoping
people would hear them and buy the albums?

Nope.

They uploaded entire albums, including bonus tracks, demos, etc, etc,
because they aren't mindlessly fighting against something that's
actually helping them. ;-] Hmm, piracy support? Throw me off again,
but I had the bassist from the band October 31st upload all 3 of his
bands full length albums as well as numerous demos and such, knowing
that it would create some nice exposure for his band. Funny how that
works... Seems the bands [with the exception of some idiots] are
pretty much cool with it... I WONDER.
