Yeah, but that's a different issue. I'm all for artists getting paid
for their work. It's not just kids who think anything digital should
be free. I worked with a guy - highly paid, outwardly high morals -
who could not understand how using ??? - I forgot, but it was the big

He was more in love with technology than I, and he just about blew his

If he was using Kazaa, chances are good that he paid even when he didn't

Kazaa's spyware, and required reformatting/OS reinstall. Lots of geeks made
money doing that for customers.
