	The MP3 format is QUIET legal.  Its a wonderful compression utility.
 However, abiding by the rules of Copyright, when you make a perfect
copy (which MP3 allows you to do with a much smaller size than norm)
and distribute it, you break the Copyright.
	MP3's are fine, and if you make CLIPS of CD Tracks, its fine, but
perfect copies are not so much fine.
