I used to use bittorrent alot but just recently learned how it can damage your HD. The suprnova fella made exeem. It's for PC only now though. It is also in testing and there aren't many users yet.
I still will do it. I do have alot of music I have to absorb though. The RIAA uses alot of scare tactics. They often lie too. That first wave of "arrests" turned out to be false.
I welcomed the decentralized era of music. I still emrace it like a little puppy. I think now you are going to see less million dollar icons and more musicians having to work at what they do best for a living. You are going to see more work and wider varieties. You are going to see too many genres to really care. Little niches for that CD-R. And more local shows!
It's not over. Far from it. Remember the RIAA can't touch you outside the US.
