Re: Good bye CD Player!
Your research is bogus. An illegal download is an illegal download. It's all still copyrighted material. And to not be hypocritical here, I do have illegal copies of music that I ripped from my friends. But I'm not going around using some circular logic to justify it as legal. I did not buy it, I copied it illegally, so I am a thief. Period.
From what I can tell from my research bittorrents are 100% LEGAL. Because it's a true peer to peer network, no centralized server AND you get your stuff in pieces from many different sources.
Plus, I have owned my music on vinyl, cassette, 8-track, and CD's, and even a few reel to reels back in the day. I think I've paid for the stuff many times over.
