Hey Doc I am not singling you out, just using your business as an example.   However, weren't you were the one who started the thread with this statement:

We all knew he was walking a fine line on copyright issues but the site was a great resource of long-forgotten audio.

There is no "fine line" about offering someone else's property (the copyright owners) for free to anyone who wants it.   It's called theft, and it is clearly against the law.  Obviously Chuck Mangione did not forget that he owned some of what was being offered on the site for free.   He should be hailed as a hero for stepping up and taking action.   I am glad you seem to be aware of the issues involved and are willing to pay lip service to that end, but many people are not.   When illegal immigrants come to Arizona and take your state's low paying jobs, your blood boils... but when musicians, composers, and music publishers get ripped off, they just need to "lighten up?"   Seems like a double standard to me.
