It says that if you can't get hold of it in a way that benefits the artists or the record label (I would't feel too guilty about defrauding EMI though), then its fair enough to get a copy of it by a dubiously (or not at all) legal method. I don't really agree with people making money out of someone else's work, but... You really have to wonder what their philosophy is: do they auction off copies under assumed names? Do they have some interest in only 200 people actually hearing their music? I'd love some clarification on this: if we get some definitive statement of what their mysterious 'reasons' are, then I'd consider changing my point of view. It may be (and heaven forbid that we think such ill of anyone) that it's pure bloody mindedness. Hmmm... Jorkens
