after reading what the rest of what you wrote, i have to say that many of u seem to be passive and not interested in taking active roles. shit has changed in the past, and can in the future if people stop accepting the status quo and fighting against it. what's wrong with a little healthy debate and controversy? i've never seen this post before or actually thought about the situation, but now it has come to my attention. thanks broke dude!<P>i don't care if i catch flack for promoting this, but fuck it. i'll talk to any of you one-on-one in an intelligent debate/discussion despite what u may think of me. i agree that the system is like modern-day slavery and that the artists need their cut (no matter how small), but ya'll are okay with that? not saying mp3 is the best way, or that buying the cd is the best either. we gotta find balance and figure out how to gain more control of this thing. <P>on that note, i'll retire to my cave and await the onslaught of negativity....<P>'meeul<BR>erythang is erythang-rita tao asha, mishpat maat sedeq, shalom shari'ah dharma....<BR><a href="http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/7771" target="_blank">http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/7771<;/a><BR>
