I'm not suggesting the using of this program to rip artists off or anything. And I get the "difference" between the underlying "stated" main uses of sites like Limewire, but what is to stop people from partaking in the practice of hitting these artists where it matters?With programs like this, a person can go to Youtube and obtain as many mp3s of songs as one wants without purchasing anything. On top of this, it makes me imagine programs like this probably even work with other web pages and MySpace. And another topic of debate is, isn't it interesting how a new site like Spotify overseas is showing promise in dealing with illegal downloads while American commerce is preventing Spotify from coming to the US because of how we do business here.
