that's true. And I think I meant to use another word other than legal. "Bear" with me. My English isn't the greatest and I suck at conveying my thoughts. LOL
as far as distribution goes, it goes back to the owner. We've known folks that wanted us to give others their music in hopes that they will buy their future music or even the current one. But back then, we have more honor system than we do now...

I think this depends on what it is...I think people WANT to own their own UNIQUE things. Just like I'd rather own my own clothes than a hand me down. But there is truth to what you say, it is the media that has been throwing at us. MP3 files, ipods, CD-R's, technology is so advanced that we are just wondering, why not?
But last I checked, Eagles last album sold very well still and I already saw advanced MP3's on many sites that have already served it as P2P yet it didn't deter the sales??
