I think it's a good idea to have MP3s on the internet! ESPECIALLY the new ones! Maybe they could make it so that the songs automatically delete after awhile or something like that...but more money is made from concerts ANYWAYS so they're still making MONEY!!! Except for maybe Prozzak...if ya know what I mean...ha ha! I guess there are 2 sides to this; and both have good reasons to keep/not keep MP3s on the i-net

From the record companies' point of view...they're losing BIG bucks because of no sales...
but...
the consumers think it's really great! I mean, WOW you can get songs for FREE if you look hard enough! ;)
but...
the only way I think this could be solved, and still keep both sides happy...is that only a certain number of songs/CD are allowed to be "MP3ed" and not neccessarily the big hits either! Maybe one of the other songs, that'll get people to WANT to buy the CD!!! I'd go for that, wouldn't you?

Personally, I buy a CD about 1/two months, sometimes even 1/month! So the record companies are HAPPY when people like me buy Cds (on sale of course!) and if the consumers really like/want the CD then they're happy to!

Well, if you want to debate this issue further...please feel free to contact me at the above e-mail at any time ;)
