doesn't bother me in any way. The way they (the internet popo) see it is something downloaded illegally, is money lost to a sale. Half the time, the stuff you download from so called download sites is piss poor quality, falsely named, wrong level.... to name just a few. I spent years downloading music from Kazaa, Napster, to name only 2, as one was shut down, i went to another. Last check, i had something like 18,000 mp3's that were downloaded from many different so called music servers. To this day, i have quite a few songs on my ipod that were downloaded from those sites, when you play them in a play list, the levels are so up and down, that one song can be hardly heard, the next blows your eardrums out. You may be able to "normalise" them, haven't looked..... these days i prefer to get them legally through iTunes.... i can preview the music i want before i buy it. It doesn't cost much to purchase, i just buy it.
Doesn't mean i am against these sites, i just choose not to use them any more.
