Wait a minute, this seems a bit messed up to me.  Some people set up a
wonderful web page of only really tricky or impossible to get Autechre
MP3s & get scolded by Warp after less than a week but the Aphex Twin MP3
Archive has had stuff like "Come To Daddy," "....I Care Because You Do,"
"Selected Ambient Works II," "Richard D. James Album," & so forth MP3ed
in their entireties, stuff that can actually hurt Warp's business, for
months without getting hassled at all.  That just seems strange to me.
Well, I'm not saying that the Aphex page should go down now too (although
I would like it better if they lost the in-print albums & EPs), I guess
I'm just annoyed because I only got one Gescom song from the page.
