Sorry, couldn't let this one go... Smiley is one the good guys...and I think the point he was trying to make was if Alex & Co. are trying to make money off an album (i.e. the Bobs), it shouldn't be offered for free (at least in public, anyway). They are the reason we're all on this list, right? I don't think he implied that you were making any dough from your ftp. Not a personal attack, RM, just a clarification. Good luck with the surgery. james : Nothing was ever charged on my FTP...100 % free. The thread is complete and : over with it was ended last week. Let get over it and move on I have. : :: if it's out of print / deleted / live gig bootleg-type :: stuff, being shared for NO PROFIT = FINE (although the :: record companies may think otherwise, of course). :: ::if it's in-print / commercially available / being ::distributed FOR PROFIT = NOT FINE.
